Keyhole ACL Reconstruction

California rates for HCPCS 29888

Surgery to rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the ligament deep inside the knee that stops the shin bone sliding forward on the thigh bone. Guided by a camera inside the joint, the surgeon drills tunnels through the bones, passes a graft through them and fixes it at both ends so it takes over the torn ligament's job.
