Wrist Fracture Repair, Joint Surface in Pieces

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 25609

Open surgery to repair a broken wrist at the lower end of the forearm bone, where the break runs into the wrist joint and the joint surface has broken into several pieces. Through an incision the surgeon lifts the fragments back into place and holds them with a plate and screws so the joint surface lines up smoothly again. Getting an even surface matters, because steps or gaps left in it lead to stiffness and arthritis later.
