Release Of Scarred Tendon, Leg Or Ankle

Maryland rates for HCPCS 27680

This procedure frees a single tendon in the leg or ankle from surrounding scar tissue that is restricting its movement, without lengthening or repairing the tendon itself. It is used when scarring, rather than a tear or shortening, is limiting motion. It treats one tendon at a time.
