Knee Scope Surgery For Tibial Spine Fracture

Alabama rates for HCPCS 29850

This is a minimally invasive knee surgery, performed with a small camera inserted through tiny incisions, to treat a fracture at the small bony bump inside the knee where a key ligament attaches. The surgeon repositions the broken fragment using the camera for guidance, without placing screws, pins, or other hardware to hold it in place. It is typically used after an injury that pulls a piece of bone loose along with the ligament attached to it.
