What 25670 covers

An orthopedic or hand surgeon uses an open approach to expose and reduce a dislocated radiocarpal or intercarpal joint involving one or more carpal bones. The service is generally performed in an operating room after wrist trauma when surgical exposure is needed to restore joint alignment. The operative report should identify the dislocated joint and bones, describe the open reduction, and document any stabilization performed.

This is a major surgery with a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
