Open Ankle Fusion
HCPCS 27870
Arthrodesis, ankle, open
AI EXPLANATION: Ankle fusion, or ankle arthrodesis, is an open surgical procedure used to permanently connect the bones of the ankle joint. A surgeon removes damaged cartilage from the joint surfaces and secures the bones together using specialized hardware such as screws, plates, or pins. Over time, the bones grow together into a single, solid piece, eliminating joint motion to stabilize the ankle and alleviate severe, long-term pain caused by arthritis or significant joint damage.
