Resetting a Dislocated Ankle Without Anesthesia

Iowa rates for HCPCS 27840

Puts the bones of a dislocated ankle back into position by manipulating the foot and leg from the outside, without opening the joint and without general or regional anesthesia. It is usually done urgently, because a dislocated ankle stretches the skin and blood vessels around it. The ankle is splinted afterwards and X-rayed to confirm the position.
