Knee Scope Surgery For Both-Sided Tibial Plateau Fracture

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 29856

This is a minimally invasive knee surgery, using a small camera inserted through tiny incisions, to treat a fracture of the flat top surface of the shin bone where it meets the knee joint, affecting both sides of the joint surface. The surgeon repositions the broken fragments under camera guidance and typically secures them with hardware such as screws. It is a more extensive version of a similar repair that treats a fracture involving only one side of the joint surface.
