Median Nerve Thumb Branch Repair

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 64835

This procedure surgically repairs a small branch of the median nerve in the hand that controls movement of the thumb's base muscles. The surgeon carefully reconnects the cut ends of the nerve under magnification so the nerve fibers can grow back and restore thumb movement and strength over time. It is done after a laceration or other injury has severed this specific branch.
