Wide Removal of a Tumor in a Midfoot Bone

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 28171

Removes a tumor in one of the small bones of the midfoot along with a margin of surrounding bone and tissue, so that no growth is left at the edges. It is used for aggressive or cancerous bone growths rather than simple cysts. Removing a block of bone from this region affects the arch, so reconstruction or fusion is often needed afterwards.
