HCPCS 25607

Open treatment of distal radial extra-articular fracture or epiphyseal separation, includes internal fixation, when performed

AI EXPLANATION: This surgical procedure repairs a broken wrist bone, specifically the lower end of the forearm bone near the wrist joint. A surgeon makes an incision to carefully realign the displaced bone pieces into their proper anatomical position. The bone is then secured using internal hardware, such as metal plates, screws, or pins, to hold the fragments firmly in place while the fracture heals.
