Biopsy of the Joint at the Base of a Toe

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 28052

This procedure opens the joint where a toe meets the long bone of the foot (the metatarsophalangeal joint) through a small incision to obtain a tissue sample from inside it. It is used to investigate unexplained swelling, pain, or a suspected growth in that joint when other tests have not given a clear diagnosis. The joint is closed and the foot is typically protected in a stiff-soled shoe or splint afterward.
