Donor Bone Graft Including A Joint Surface

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 20932

Replaces a missing length of bone together with the smooth cartilage-covered joint surface at its end, using matched donor tissue that is templated, cut to shape, fitted and secured with fixation hardware. It is used when a tumor removal or a severe injury has taken away not only bone but part of the joint itself, so a plain segment of bone would not restore the joint. It forms part of, and is billed in addition to, the main reconstructive operation.
