Open Removal Of Both Knee Cartilage Cushions

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 27333

Through an incision into the knee joint, a surgeon removes both the inner and outer cartilage cushions that sit between the thigh bone and shin bone. This differs from removing just one of the two cushions, and it is done through an open incision rather than with a scope. It is used when both cartilage cushions in the same knee need to be removed.
