Open Repair of Shattered Lower Shin and Ankle Joint

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 27828

Repairs a break through the weight-bearing surface at the bottom of the shin bone where it forms the ankle joint, and also fixes the broken calf bone alongside it. The surgeon opens the area, rebuilds the joint surface as accurately as possible and holds both bones with plates and screws. Restoring the joint surface matters because irregularities lead to arthritis later.
