Releasing A Stiff Knee Joint

California rates for HCPCS 27435

Cuts through the tightened capsule and scar tissue around the knee so a joint that has stiffened up can bend and straighten further. It is used when a knee has lost movement after injury, prolonged immobilization or earlier surgery, and therapy alone has not restored it.
