Toe-Straightening Tendon Release, Single

Montana rates for HCPCS 28225

This surgery frees a toe-straightening tendon in the foot that has become bound down by scar tissue, so it can move and glide normally again. The surgeon carefully separates the tendon from the surrounding scar without cutting the tendon itself. This treats a single tendon that has lost its normal range of motion, often after a prior injury or surgery.
