Tendon Transfer for Ring and Little Finger

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 26497

Surgery that reroutes a working tendon in the hand so it takes over the job of small hand muscles that no longer work in the ring and little fingers. Restoring that pull lets those fingers straighten and bend together instead of curling into a claw position. It is done when nerve damage has left the small muscles inside the hand paralyzed.
