Open Fixation Of A Knee-Area Growth Plate Injury

Colorado rates for HCPCS 27519

This procedure stabilizes a growth plate injury near the knee end of the thighbone in a child, after the separated bone has been repositioned, using pins or wires placed through an open surgical incision. It is used when the injury will not stay in the corrected position without additional support. Because it directly accesses the growth plate through an open approach, it differs from less invasive fixation methods.
