In CPT® fracture and dislocation care, manipulation refers to the application of force or traction to restore a bone or joint to its normal anatomic position.
This is a key distinction between with manipulation and without manipulation, which directly affects CPT code selection (e.g., 23505 vs. 23500).
Manipulation may be performed closed (no incision) or open (with incision).
