Camera-Assisted Repair of a Shinbone Knee Break

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 29855

Repairs a break in the flat top surface of the shinbone where it forms the knee joint. A camera is placed in the joint so the surgeon can watch the joint surface directly while the broken piece is lifted back into place and held with screws or a plate. This version covers a break involving one side of that joint surface.
