Delayed Repair of the Tendon Below the Kneecap

Idaho rates for HCPCS 27381

Reconstructs the tendon running from the kneecap down to the shin bone when an earlier repair has failed, or when the injury is old and the tendon ends can no longer be brought together. A strip of tendon or tough fibrous tissue is used to bridge and reinforce the gap. This tendon is what lets the knee straighten against resistance and hold body weight.
