Removal Of Diseased Bone In The Shoulder Girdle

Alaska rates for HCPCS 23182

This surgery removes a portion of bone in the shoulder region that has become diseased, most often due to a bone infection. The surgeon opens the area and shaves or scoops out the affected bone to clear out infected or damaged tissue, which can help control the infection and relieve pain. It is a more extensive removal than simply taking out small dead bone fragments.
