Gastroc Recession and Soleus Tenotomy

Hello

How would you code a gastroc recession and soleus tenotomy through the same incision?

At this point, as the patient had restriction of her dorsiflexion, an incision was made in the posterior calf and the peritenon exposed while protecting the sural nerve and vein. The gastrocnemius was lengthened in the manner of Strayer. Through the same incision a tenotomy was also done of the soleus. This allowed twenty degrees of dorsiflexion. The wound was closed in layered fashion while protecting the sural nerve and vein.

I was thinking 27687 (gastroc) and 27685 (soleus) but wasn’t 100% sure.

Thanks in advance.
