Partial Fusion of the Wrist

Iowa rates for HCPCS 25820

Fuses some of the small bones of the wrist to each other, or to the forearm bone, so that the worn or damaged part stops moving while the rest of the wrist keeps working. Stopping motion where the joint surface has failed is what takes the pain away. Because only part of the wrist is joined, useful bending and turning remain.
