What 25608 covers

An orthopedic or hand surgeon exposes the wrist fracture, restores the joint surface and stabilizes the distal radius, commonly with a plate and screws. This code applies when the fracture extends into the wrist joint and two fragments are treated. The operation is usually performed in an operating room for a displaced or unstable fracture that needs direct surgical reduction and fixation.

Select the code from the operative findings and report: documentation should establish intra-articular involvement, the two-fragment count, and the open reduction and fixation performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS payment is 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
