Setting a Broken Forearm Bone Without Surgery

Florida rates for HCPCS 25535

Realigns a break in the shaft of the ulna, the forearm bone on the little-finger side, by manipulating the arm from the outside rather than opening it. Once the pieces are lined up, a cast or splint holds the arm while the bone heals. X-rays are taken to confirm the position and to check that it holds.
