Surgical Repair Of A Dislocated Finger-Base Joint

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 26685

A surgeon makes an incision to directly realign a dislocated joint where a finger bone, other than the thumb, meets the bones of the wrist, and secures it with hardware such as pins or wires if needed to hold it in place. This open approach is used when the dislocation cannot be adequately corrected by manipulation alone from outside the skin. It restores normal joint alignment to support hand function.
