Cylinder Cast Application

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 29365

This is the application of a rigid cast that extends from the thigh down to the ankle, leaving the knee joint enclosed while typically keeping the foot and toes free. It is used to protect and stabilize the knee and lower thigh area, for example after certain knee injuries or surgery, while allowing weight bearing to be controlled by the treating clinician. The cast is molded to the leg and allowed to harden in place.
