Hip Pressure Sore Removal With Bone Shaving

Alabama rates for HCPCS 15951

Surgical removal of a pressure sore over the bony bump on the outer side of the hip, together with shaving away the underlying bony prominence that caused the pressure. Taking down that point of bone removes the pressure that created the sore, so the wound can heal and is less likely to break down again. The area is then closed.
