Toe Joint Capsule Release Surgery

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 28270

This surgery releases tight tissue around the joint at the base of a toe, the joint connecting the toe to the foot, to relieve pain and improve movement when the joint has become stiff or the toe has drifted out of normal alignment. It is often used to treat conditions like a stiff, painful big toe joint that limits normal walking motion, and does not involve joints further back in the midfoot.
