Midfoot Joint Release With Tendon Lengthening

Iowa rates for HCPCS 28261

Releases the tight joint capsules in the middle of the foot and lengthens the tight tendons that are pulling the foot out of shape, so it can be brought into a normal position. It is used for a stiff, deformed foot that stretching, casting or bracing alone cannot correct. The foot is normally held in a cast afterwards while it heals in the corrected position.
