Pinning of a Broken Hip at the Femoral Neck

Montana rates for HCPCS 27235

Holds a break in the narrow part of the thigh bone just below the ball of the hip using screws or pins inserted through small punctures in the skin, guided by X-ray, without opening the hip joint. The fracture is not exposed; the hardware alone keeps the pieces aligned while the bone heals. It is used for breaks that are already in acceptable position or can be lined up without opening the hip.
