Surgery for a Broken Wrist Bone

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 25628

Repairs a broken scaphoid, one of the small bones on the thumb side of the wrist, through an incision. The pieces are lined up under direct view and usually held together with a screw passed across the break. It is chosen because this bone has a fragile blood supply and can fail to knit if the fragments are not held firmly, which would leave a painful, arthritic wrist.
