Knee Arthroscopy, Both Menisci Trimmed

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 29880

During this knee arthroscopy, the surgeon uses a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions to trim damaged, torn cartilage from both the inner and outer cushioning pads of the knee, the menisci, in the same operation. Removing the torn portions relieves catching, locking, or pain caused by meniscus damage while preserving as much healthy cartilage as possible. It differs from a related procedure that treats only one side of the knee.
