Finger Extensor Tendon Repair With A Tendon Graft

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 26434

Restores a damaged extensor tendon, one of the tendons on the back of the finger that straightens it, by bridging the gap with a piece of tendon taken from elsewhere in the patient's body during the same operation. A graft is used when the tendon ends are too damaged or too far apart to be sewn directly to one another. It may be done at the time of injury or later, once an untreated or failed repair has left the finger unable to straighten.
