Nonsurgical Treatment of a Broken Fibula With Repositioning

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 27781

This treats a fracture of the fibula, the thinner of the two lower-leg bones, without any incision. Because the bone fragments have shifted out of alignment, the doctor manually repositions them before applying a cast or splint to hold the leg still while it heals.
