Transplanting Cartilage Plugs Into The Knee

Maryland rates for HCPCS 27416

Takes small cylinders of cartilage with the bone beneath them from a part of the knee that carries little weight, and presses them into a damaged area of the joint surface through an open incision. The transplanted plugs restore a smooth surface where cartilage has been lost. The tissue comes from the patient's own knee, so there is no risk of rejection.
