Pinning of a Broken Heel Bone

Maryland rates for HCPCS 28406

The broken heel bone is pushed back into its proper shape and position without opening the fracture, and pins or screws are then driven through small punctures in the skin to hold it there. X-ray guidance is used to check the position and the placement of the hardware. It avoids the large incision that a fully open repair needs.
