Ankle Arthroscopy for Cartilage and Bone Defect

Vermont rates for HCPCS 29891

A camera and fine instruments are placed into the ankle through small punctures, and a damaged patch of cartilage with the bone beneath it, on the ankle bone or the lower shin bone, is cleared out. The base of the defect is drilled to open small channels so blood reaches the area and a repair tissue layer can form. It treats deep ankle pain and catching after injury.
