What 25671 covers

Code 25671 describes percutaneous skeletal stabilization of a dislocated distal radioulnar joint, the articulation between the radius and ulna near the wrist. The surgeon aligns the joint and places fixation through the skin, commonly temporary pins or wires, to hold the reduction. Orthopedic and hand surgeons typically perform this procedure in an operating room for an acute or chronic dislocation when percutaneous fixation is selected.

The operative report should identify the distal radioulnar dislocation, the side treated, and the reduction and fixation method. This major surgery includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
