Knuckle Joint Scope with Tissue Cleanout

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 29901

A surgeon inserts a thin camera through small incisions into a knuckle joint at the base of a finger or thumb to look inside and then trims away damaged or inflamed tissue, such as torn cartilage or irritated joint lining. Because the tools and camera pass through tiny openings rather than a large incision, recovery is generally quicker than with open surgery. This approach both diagnoses and treats the problem in the same visit.
