HCPCS 27279

Arthrodesis, sacroiliac joint, percutaneous or minimally invasive (indirect visualization), with image guidance, includes obtaining bone graft(s) of synthetic device(s) and placement of transfixing devices

AI EXPLANATION: Minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion is a surgical procedure that stabilizes the joint connecting the lower spine to the pelvis. Using real-time imaging guidance, a surgeon makes a small incision and places specialized implants or fixation devices across the joint to hold the bones firmly in place and encourage them to fuse together into a single solid bone over time.
