CPT code 64834 represents surgical repair of a sensory nerve in the hand or foot to restore sensory function following injury or trauma.

Nationally, surgical peripheral nerve repairs are performed across inpatient and outpatient surgical settings and are relevant to trauma, orthopedics, and hand surgery workflows.
