Surgical Repair Of A Dislocated Knee

California rates for HCPCS 27556

This surgery treats a fully dislocated knee joint through an open incision, realigning the joint surfaces and stabilizing them without repairing the torn ligaments themselves. It's used when the knee cannot be safely or effectively realigned without surgery, though repair of the ligaments, when needed, is performed as a separate part of treatment. Restoring proper joint alignment helps set the stage for the knee's stability and further healing.
