Growth Plate Arrest at the Lower Shin

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 27730

Surgery through an incision near the ankle that stops further growth at the growth plate at the lower end of the shin bone in a child or teenager. Halting growth on that side lets the other leg catch up in length, or corrects an angle that is developing. Timing is worked out from x-rays estimating how much growing is left.
