Knee Arthroscopy With Bone Grafting

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 29885

This is a minimally invasive knee procedure done through small incisions with a camera, in which a surgeon drills into an area of damaged bone and cartilage, most often from a condition where a piece of bone loses its blood supply, and packs the area with bone graft material to encourage healing. Any loose or unhealthy tissue in the area is cleaned out first. It is used to help the joint surface heal and stay intact rather than break away.
