Ankle Arthroscopy With Extensive Cleanout

Florida rates for HCPCS 29898

A surgeon passes a pencil-thin camera and fine instruments through a few tiny cuts around the ankle to clear damaged cartilage, inflamed joint lining and loose fragments from inside the joint. This is the thorough version, covering clean-up over a wide area of the joint rather than one small spot. It is normally done as day surgery.
