Surgery For A Stiff, Arthritic Big-Toe Joint

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 28291

Treats a big-toe joint that has become stiff and painful from arthritis. The surgeon trims away the bone spurs that block the joint, clears out the worn and damaged tissue inside it, and releases the tightened joint lining so the toe can bend again when walking. It is done when stiffness and pain persist despite stiff-soled shoes, inserts and injections.
