Big Toe Joint Fusion Surgery

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 28750

A surgeon permanently joins the bones of the big toe's main joint together, eliminating motion at that joint to relieve pain, most often caused by severe arthritis or a bunion deformity. The bones are aligned and fixed in place, typically with screws or a plate, so they heal into a single solid piece. This provides lasting pain relief at the cost of losing the joint's normal bending motion.
