Pin Fixation Of A Midfoot Bone Fracture

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 28456

A broken bone in the midfoot, other than the ankle bone or heel bone, is stabilized by inserting pins or wires through the skin under X-ray guidance, without making a full surgical incision. This holds the broken pieces in the correct position while they heal. It's typically used for fractures that need more stability than simple immobilization but don't require a full open surgical repair.
