Removal of a Benign Bone Cyst in the Foot

Virginia rates for HCPCS 28104

Removes a non-cancerous cyst or growth from inside a bone of the foot, opening a window in the bone and scraping the abnormal tissue out of the cavity. Clearing it relieves pain and reduces the risk of the weakened bone cracking under load. Whether the cavity is then packed with graft material determines which version of the operation applies.
