Open Repair of a Broken Ankle

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 27822

Repairs an ankle break that involves more than one part of the joint — the bony bump on the inner side, the outer bump at the end of the fibula, and the back edge of the shin bone — through incisions that let the surgeon line the fragments up directly. Plates, screws or wires hold the pieces while the bone knits, restoring the shape of the joint surface. A cast or boot and a staged return to weight-bearing follow.
