Tendons are the soft tissues which connect muscles to the bones. Whenever a tendon is torn or damaged due to injury, tendon repair surgery is performed to treat damaged tendon. In tendon repair surgery, a small incision is made near the site of damaged tendon and the broken tendon is stitched.
Posterior tibial tendon connects the posterior tibialis muscle to the calf bone on the back side. Surgery is performed to repair the tendon by stitching and joining the associated muscle with bone. The CPT code used for this procedure is 28200.
The top of tibia is connected to the bottom of patella via patellar tendon. The repair surgery is performed to stitch back the ends. An incision is made near the site of tendon, and repairs the damage. The CPT code used for this process is 27599.
Gluteus medius is one of the gluteal muscles which are located on the outer surface of pelvis. Gluteus medius tendon attaches these muscles with hip bone. Arthroscopy is performed to stitch the damaged ends of gluteus medius tendon. The CPT code used for this procedure is 27006, 27025, 27027 and 27057.
Hip abductor muscles are located near hip bone. Gluteus medius, tensor fasciae latae and gluteus minimus are included in hip abductors. It connects hip with the leg muscles to stable the movement of legs. Repair surgery is performed to stitch the broken tendon. CPT code for this procedure is 27299.
