Neck Laminoplasty With Rebuilding of the Back Bone

Montana rates for HCPCS 63051

Enlarges the bony canal in the neck so that a compressed spinal cord has room again, and then rebuilds the back wall of the vertebrae rather than leaving it open. Bone graft is bridged across the reshaped bone and held with small fixation hardware so the canal keeps its new, wider shape. It is used when the cord is squeezed across more than one level of the neck.
