Repair Of A Hand Or Finger Bone That Failed To Heal

Colorado rates for HCPCS 26546

Treats a broken bone in the hand or a finger that has not knitted together. The surgeon clears the unhealed gap, takes a bone graft from the patient's own body and packs it in, and holds the bone steady with wires, screws, or a plate so it can finally join. Taking the graft and placing the hardware are part of the service.
