Radial Nerve Reposition Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve moving all or part of the radial nerve to its normal or another suitable location and target the peripheral nervous system. These reposition procedures correct displacement or tension on the radial nerve to restore function or relieve symptoms. Accurate coding of these procedures in inpatient records affects case mix assignment and reimbursement by documenting the specific nerve-level intervention.
