Biopsy Of A Knuckle Joint Through An Incision

Nevada rates for HCPCS 26105

This procedure opens a knuckle joint — the joint where a finger meets the hand, not one of the joints farther out between the finger bones — through a small incision so a tissue sample can be taken directly from inside the joint. It is used to investigate unexplained joint swelling, pain, or a suspected growth when imaging or fluid sampling alone has not given a clear answer. The joint is then closed and typically splinted briefly afterward.
