Finger Tendon Pulley Rebuild With a Graft

Washington rates for HCPCS 26502

Rebuilds the band of tissue that holds a finger's bending tendon close to the bone, so the tendon does not bowstring away from the finger when it curls. In this version the new band is made from a strip of tendon or tough fibrous tissue taken from elsewhere in the body, and harvesting it is part of the operation.
