About 25370: Radius or ulna corrective osteotomy

Corrective surgery on the radius or ulna realigns one forearm bone to address a deformity, with code selection guided by the bone treated.

This operation changes the alignment of the radius or ulna to correct a bony deformity. An orthopedic or hand surgeon typically performs it in an operating room, using the operative approach and stabilization appropriate to the patient’s anatomy and surgical plan. The code is for correction involving one of the two forearm bones, rather than both bones together.

The operative report should identify the bone and side treated, the deformity or other indication, and the corrective work performed. Choose a different code when the procedure addresses both the radius and ulna or has a specifically described goal such as shortening. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
