Complete Removal of the Ankle Bone (Talus)

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 28130

Surgical removal of the entire talus, the bone that sits between the shinbone and the heel bone and forms the core of the ankle joint. This is a major procedure typically reserved for severe bone infection, a destroyed joint, certain deformities, or cancer involving the bone, when the bone cannot be saved or repaired. Removing the talus significantly changes how the ankle and foot function, and further reconstruction or fusion is often needed afterward.
