What is the CPT code for ORIF right wrist?
Open reduction and internal fixation was designated by the CPT codes 25607, 25608, or 25609 (open treatment of extra- or intra-articular distal radius fracture).
What is a distal ulna fracture?
A distal ulna fracture, or isolated ulnar shaft fracture, is a type of fracture that occurs along the length of the ulna bone, which is one of the two bones in the forearm.
What is the CPT code for ORIF radial shaft fracture?
| Appendix, Supplemental Digital Content 1. List of upper extremity fracture-related procedures and associated CPT codes | |
|---|---|
| ORIF radial head/neck fracture | 24665 |
| Open treatment radial head/neck fracture with radial head replacement | 24666 |

What is the CPT code for ORIF distal radius fracture?
Patients were identified by an electronic procedural code search for distal radius ORIF (CPT 25607, 25608, and 25609).
What is the distal end of the ulna called?
The lateral, distal end of the ulna is the head of the ulna. It articulates with the ulnar notch on the radius and with the triangular articular disc in the Wrist Joint.
Where is the distal ulna?
The radius is the bone on the thumb side and the ulna is the bone on the little finger side. People may break both of these bones when they trip and hold an arm out to stop the fall. The distal (closest to the hand) part of the bones are most likely to be injured.
What is the most distal part of the ulna?
Is the ulna lateral to the radius?
In the anatomical position, the radius is laterally placed in the forearm while the ulna lies medially. On the anterior view, the proximal ends of the radius and ulna are shown articulating with the distal humerus.
Is the ulna distal to the radius?
The radius articulates proximally at the elbow with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna. It articulates at its distal end with the ulna at the ulnar notch and with the articular surfaces of the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones.
Is the ulna proximal or distal?
Structure. The ulna is a long bone larger proximally than distally.
