Open Release of a Single Hamstring Tendon

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 27390

This surgery cuts a single hamstring tendon in the thigh, between the knee and hip, through an open incision to relieve tightness that is limiting movement of the leg. It is often used to treat contractures, a fixed tightening of muscle and tendon, in conditions such as cerebral palsy. Releasing the tendon allows the hip and knee to move through a fuller range of motion afterward.
