Use S codes to represent drugs, services, and supplies that do not have a permanent national code. These are often used by private payers and Medicaid but are not recognized by Medicare.

Documented evidence of hip dysplasia, instability, pain, or functional limitations that have not responded to conservative treatment. This code is not payable by Medicare, so medical necessity needs to meet requirements of other payers.

The surgeon performs the periacetabular osteotomy, including incisions, bone cuts, repositioning, and internal fixation.

IMPORTANT:CPT code 27228 describes open treatment of acetabular fracture(s) and is an alternate code which may be considered.

In simple words: This procedure reshapes the hip socket to improve its fit with the thigh bone, using screws to hold the new shape in place.

Example 1: A young adult with hip dysplasia causing pain and instability undergoes a periacetabular osteotomy to improve joint congruency and prevent arthritis., A patient with a shallow hip socket following a childhood injury requires a periacetabular osteotomy to correct the deformity and relieve pain., An athlete with persistent hip pain and limited range of motion due to a malformed acetabulum undergoes a periacetabular osteotomy to restore function.
