Removal of a Bone Tumor in the Foot

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 28173

This surgery removes a tumor along with the involved bone in the foot, taking a margin of surrounding tissue to reduce the chance the growth comes back. It is used for tumors that have grown into or arisen from bone rather than only the surrounding soft tissue. Depending on the extent of bone removed, additional reconstruction may be needed to maintain the foot's structure and function.
