Surgical Lengthening of the Thighbone

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 27466

A surgical procedure that gradually lengthens the thighbone (femur), typically used to correct a significant leg-length difference or a bone that stopped growing properly. The surgeon cuts the bone and applies a fixation device — often an external frame or an internal lengthening rod — that slowly separates the bone ends over weeks so new bone forms in the gap. Physical therapy is usually needed throughout the lengthening and healing process.
