Kneecap Removal (Patellectomy)

Iowa rates for HCPCS 27350

Removes the kneecap, either all of it or part of it, and repairs the tendon and surrounding tissue so the knee can still be straightened. It is done when the bone is shattered beyond repair, worn out by arthritis, or a source of pain that has not settled with other treatment.
