Pressure Sore Removal With Bone Trim And Closure

Alaska rates for HCPCS 15933

Cuts out a deep pressure sore together with the dead and scarred tissue around it, and shaves down the bony prominence underneath that has been pressing on the skin from within. The wound edges are then brought together and stitched closed directly. It is done for a long-standing sore that will not heal with dressings and pressure relief alone.
