CPT Code: 64721 Release of the transverse carpal ligament is known as “carpal tunnel release” surgery.
Open carpal tunnel release (CPT 64721) is a Group 2 procedure, reimbursed at $446, nearly three times less than the endoscopic procedure. It was around this time that more surgeons began discovering the benefits of minimally invasive surgical techniques for carpal tunnel release.
Cubital tunnel syndrome happens when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, is injured and becomes inflamed, swollen, and irritated.
The radial tunnel is an area below your elbow. Your radial nerve enters this tunnel of muscle and bone and then travels down to your wrist. When your radial nerve is pinched anywhere in your arm, it can cause pain and weakness.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel and causes pain, numbness and tingling, in the part of the hand that receives sensation from the median nerve. Pain may extend up the arm leading to discomfort extending to the shoulder and forearm.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code G56.01 and a single ICD9 code, 354.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
