Open Repair of an Outer Ankle Fracture

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 27792

Surgery to fix a break at the lower end of the fibula, the slim outer bone of the lower leg that forms the knob on the outside of the ankle. Through an incision the surgeon lines the pieces up and holds them with a plate and screws so the ankle joint stays correctly aligned while the bone heals. It is done when the break is out of position or leaves the ankle unstable.
