Knee Arthroscopy, Repair Of Both Menisci

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 29883

Keyhole surgery inside the knee to stitch torn cartilage back together. Through small incisions the surgeon passes a camera and instruments into the joint and repairs tears in both the inner and the outer meniscus — the two C-shaped cushions that sit between the thigh and shin bones. Sewing the cartilage rather than trimming it away keeps the cushion in place, but healing takes longer.
