Repair Of A Finger's Bending Tendon

Iowa rates for HCPCS 26357

Repairs a torn tendon that bends a finger, in the stretch where the tendon runs through a narrow tunnel inside the finger. Working there is demanding because the repaired tendon has to glide freely through a tight space without catching. Careful hand therapy afterwards is a major part of the result.
