Open Repair of a Broken Ulna Shaft

Utah rates for HCPCS 25545

Surgery that opens the forearm to align a break in the shaft of the ulna, the little-finger-side forearm bone, and hold it with a plate and screws or a rod. It is chosen when a cast cannot keep the pieces in acceptable position. Restoring the bone's length and straightness protects forearm rotation.
