Wrist Fracture Repair, Break Into the Joint

Kansas rates for HCPCS 25608

Open surgery to repair a broken wrist at the lower end of the forearm bone, where the break runs into the wrist joint surface and splits it in two. Through an incision the surgeon lifts the pieces back into place and secures them with a plate and screws so the joint surface is smooth and level again. Restoring that surface accurately protects the wrist from stiffness and early arthritis.
