Thigh Pressure-Release Surgery For One Muscle Compartment

Idaho rates for HCPCS 27496

This surgery relieves dangerous pressure buildup within the thigh or around the knee by cutting open the tough fibrous casing that surrounds one group of muscles, allowing the swollen tissue inside to expand. It is an emergency procedure used to treat compartment syndrome, a condition where pressure inside the muscle compartment cuts off blood flow and threatens the tissue. Only one muscle compartment is opened in this version of the procedure.
