Knee Scope With Fixation Of Loose Cartilage Fragment

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 29887

Using a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions around the knee, a surgeon stabilizes an area where a piece of cartilage and the bone beneath it has begun to separate from the joint surface but has not yet come loose. Small pins, screws, or similar devices are used to hold the fragment in place so it can heal back onto the surrounding bone. This approach preserves the person's own joint surface rather than removing the fragment.
