Living Bone Graft Taken From The Hip

Maryland rates for HCPCS 20956

A piece of bone is taken from the rim of the hip with its own blood vessels still attached and transferred to rebuild missing bone elsewhere in the body. The vessels are stitched to vessels at the new site under a microscope, so the graft arrives alive rather than as dead bone that must be gradually replaced.
