Thigh Amputation With Immediate Cast Fitting

Kansas rates for HCPCS 27591

Amputation of the leg through the thigh bone, finished with an immediate-fitting technique in which a rigid dressing or cast is applied to the end of the limb during the same operation. The cast controls swelling, protects the wound and shapes the limb so a temporary artificial leg can be attached sooner. It is done when disease or injury means the leg cannot be saved.
