Hammertoe Correction Surgery

Montana rates for HCPCS 28285

This surgery straightens a toe that has become bent or curled at one of its joints, a condition known as a hammertoe, by removing a small piece of bone or fusing the joint to hold the toe in a straighter position. Correcting the deformity can relieve pain, pressure, and rubbing against footwear that a bent toe often causes. Small pins or other fixation may be used temporarily to hold the toe in its corrected alignment while it heals.
