Removal of an Artificial Hip

Alaska rates for HCPCS 27090

Takes out an artificial hip joint without putting a new one in during the same operation. The implant and any cement are removed from the thigh bone and the socket, and the space is cleaned out. It is most often done because the implant has become infected or has loosened, with any replacement left to a later operation.
