Fusion Of The Forearm Joint With Ulna Segment Removed

Missouri rates for HCPCS 25830

Treats a painful or unstable joint where the two forearm bones meet next to the wrist by fusing that joint solid and removing a short segment of the ulna, the forearm bone on the little-finger side, just above it. The gap left by the removed segment lets the forearm keep rotating, so the palm can still turn up and down. It is used for arthritis or long-standing instability of that joint, often after an old fracture.
