Cast Wedging For Realignment

Colorado rates for HCPCS 29740

This procedure adjusts an existing cast by cutting partway through it and reshaping it to gradually change the angle of the limb inside. It is used during treatment of a fracture or limb deformity when the alignment inside the cast needs a small correction without starting over with a brand new cast. The cast is then closed back up so treatment can continue.
