Open Repair of a Broken Finger Bone

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 26735

Surgery through an incision to repair a break in the shaft of a finger or thumb bone, so the surgeon can see the fragments and set them accurately, holding them with small screws, a plate or wires. It is chosen when the break is unstable, angled or twisted enough that a splint alone would leave the finger crooked or stiff. Each bone treated this way is counted separately.
