*~~This is~~ a ~~type of "what was done"~~ to ~~the~~ body part ~~in question --- it applies to Therapeutic Procedures only~~.

*Refers to a procedure to stabilize or fix a body part, broken bone, either internally or externally

'''Includes'''

* Internal fixation by mechanical devices such as metal plates, pins, rods, wires or screws.

* External fixation: halo, casts, back slabs, walking casts, splints, and/or slings

* IMN (intramedullary Nailing)

{{CCI_Therapeutic}}=== Fusion vs Fixation ===

*The subtlety here is to distinguish it from '''[[Fusion]]''' of a body part which is also used to stabilize things -- so if the way the stabilization was done was by fusing 2 similar and adjacent body parts together (e.g. fusion of 2 or more spinal bones), then use '''[[Fusion]]''' instead of [[Fixation]].

== Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition ==

* ~~a different code in~~ [[~~:Category:Therapeutic Procedure~~]]

*[[CCI component 2 codes - what was done]]
