West Virginia rates for HCPCS 29867

A minimally invasive knee operation that replaces a damaged patch of joint surface with a plug of cartilage and underlying bone from a tissue donor. The damaged area is cleared out and the donor plug is fitted flush with the surrounding surface. Using donor tissue means no cartilage has to be taken from elsewhere in the patient's own knee.
