What 25355 covers

This service involves cutting and realigning the radius in its middle or proximal third to correct a bony deformity. An orthopedic or hand surgeon may perform it for a symptomatic radial malunion, such as angulation or rotation after a forearm fracture. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room, with the surgeon stabilizing the corrected bone as needed.

Choose this code for an osteotomy of the radius in the middle or proximal third; the distal-third radius osteotomy is a different code. The operative report should identify the treated bone and segment, the deformity and correction performed, and any stabilization. CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
