Growth Plate Arrest at the Top of the Shin

Vermont rates for HCPCS 27477

Surgery that stops further growth at the growth plates near the top of the shin bone and the neighboring outer leg bone in a child or teenager. Halting growth there lets the other leg catch up, or corrects an angle at the knee, as the child keeps growing. Timing is planned from x-rays that estimate how much growth remains.
