Second-Stage Flexor Tendon Graft, Rod Removal

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 26392

This is the second stage of a two-part tendon reconstruction in the palm or fingers. A temporary rod placed during an earlier surgery is removed, and a tendon graft is inserted along the channel it created to rebuild the damaged tendon that bends the fingers. This staged approach is used when the tendon and its surrounding tissue were too damaged for a direct repair, requiring the earlier first-stage surgery.
