Porous purified collagen matrix bone void filler (integra mozaik osteoconductive scaffold putty, integra os osteoconductive scaffold putty), per 0.5 cc
HCPCS code
Name of the Procedure:
Porous Purified Collagen Matrix Bone Void Filler Common Name(s): Integra Mozaik Osteoconductive Scaffold Putty, Integra OS Osteoconductive Scaffold Putty
Summary
The procedure involves the application of a specialized putty made from purified collagen matrix to fill bone voids. This putty helps support the growth of new bone tissue.
Purpose
Medical Conditions or Problems:
- Bone voids or defects due to surgery, trauma, or congenital conditions. ##### Goals or Expected Outcomes:
- Promote bone growth and healing.
- Provide structural support where bone tissue is missing.
Indications
- Patients with bone defects or voids.
- Requirements for bone grafts or fillers in orthopedic surgeries.
- Patients without allergies to collagen or related compounds.
Preparation
- Follow fasting guidelines if instructed.
- Adjust or discontinue certain medications as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Undergo any required imaging or diagnostic tests to assess the bone void.
Procedure Description
- The surgical area is cleaned and prepared.
- An incision is made to access the bone defect.
- The Integra Mozaik or Integra OS scaffold putty is prepared and applied to the bone void.
- The putty is molded to fit the defect and compacted to ensure stability.
- The incision is closed and the area is dressed.
Tools and Equipment:
- Surgical incision tools.
- Integra Mozaik or Integra OS scaffold putty.
- Sterile dressing materials.
Anesthesia:
- Local or general anesthesia, based on the specific case and surgical site.
Duration
- The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size and location of the bone void.
Setting
- Hospital, outpatient clinic, or surgical center.
Personnel
- Orthopedic surgeon or specialized bone surgeon.
- Surgical nurses.
- Anesthesiologist (if general anesthesia is required).
Risks and Complications
Common Risks:
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Temporary pain or discomfort. ##### Rare Risks:
- Allergic reactions to the collagen matrix.
- Graft failure or displacement. ##### Management:
- Antibiotics for infection.
- Close monitoring and follow-up care.
Benefits
- Promotes new bone growth and healing.
- Provides structural support, potentially reducing recovery time.
- Reduces the need for harvesting bone from other sites.
Recovery
- Follow all post-procedure care instructions provided by the surgeon.
- Avoid strenuous activities as directed.
- Attend all follow-up appointments for monitoring and assessment. ##### Expected Recovery Time:
- Variable; can range from a few weeks to several months, based on individual healing rates and the extent of the bone defect.
Alternatives
- Autografts (bone harvested from the patient's own body).
- Allografts (donor bone tissue).
- Synthetic bone substitutes. ##### Pros and Cons:
- Autografts and allografts avoid implant-related complications but may involve additional surgery or risk of rejection.
- Synthetic substitutes may not integrate as well with natural bone.
Patient Experience
During Procedure:
- Under anesthesia, no pain or discomfort should be felt. ##### After Procedure:
- Some pain or discomfort as anesthesia wears off, managed with prescribed pain relief.
- Swelling and bruising around the surgical site are common.
- Follow-up care includes monitoring healing and ensuring the graft remains in place.
