Figure-Eight Cast Application

New York rates for HCPCS 29049

Applies a figure-of-eight cast that passes around both shoulders and crosses behind the back, holding the shoulders drawn back so a healing collarbone stays in good position. The casting material is moulded in place and hardens, rather than being a fabric strap or an adjustable brace. It is most often used after a break in the collarbone.
