Release Of Pressure In The Buttock Muscles

Alaska rates for HCPCS 27027

Cuts open the tough fibrous sheets that wrap the muscle compartments of the buttock and pelvis, giving swollen muscle inside room to expand so blood can reach it again. It is done urgently when pressure builds inside a compartment after injury, bleeding, or prolonged pressure, because trapped muscle and nerve tissue die quickly.
