Nerve Decompression Surgery, Arm Or Leg

California rates for HCPCS 64708

This surgery frees a major nerve in the arm or leg that has become compressed, trapped in scar tissue, or otherwise irritated, relieving pressure that can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. The surgeon carefully dissects around the nerve and removes any surrounding tissue that is constricting it, and may reposition the nerve to prevent further irritation. It targets a major nerve along the limb rather than a smaller nerve in the hand, foot, or fingers.
