Emergency Release of Thigh Compartment Pressure

Illinois rates for HCPCS 27497

An urgent operation that opens the tough sheet of tissue enclosing a muscle group of the thigh or knee region. Pressure inside that compartment can rise high enough to shut off blood flow, and cutting the covering releases it so the muscle and nerves inside are not permanently damaged.
