Release of a Tight Tendon in the Hand or Finger

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 26460

Divides a tight tendon in the hand or finger through a small open incision, so a finger held in a fixed position can move again. Cutting the pull of the shortened tendon is what releases the deformity. It is used when a contracture stops the hand working and stretching or splinting has not helped.
