Open Repair of a Broken Metatarsal

Washington rates for HCPCS 28485

Repairs a broken metatarsal — one of the long bones running through the middle of the foot — through an incision that lets the surgeon see the fragments and set them precisely, usually holding them with a plate, screws or a pin. It is chosen when the break is badly displaced, angled or unstable, or sits in a spot that heals poorly on its own. Each broken bone treated this way is counted separately.
