Emergency Pressure-Relief Surgery Of The Hand

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 26035

This is an urgent surgery that relieves dangerously high pressure inside the hand and fingers by cutting open the tight fibrous tissue surrounding the muscles, including the muscle's own covering layer. It is often needed after a high-pressure injection injury, such as from a paint or grease gun, which forces material into the hand's tissues and threatens to permanently damage its muscles and nerves.
