Here are some excerpts from the operative documentation:
PROCEDURE:
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (29827).
Biceps tenodesis (29828).
Use of Xenograft porcine patch for rotator cuff approximation. (29999 ?) (HCPCS ?)
*Biceps Tenodesis
— biceps tendon was released
— biceps tendon was instilled in it and screw over it instilling 2 arms of the biceps into the tunnel with screw placement
— closed this area
*Rotator Cuff Repair
— identified the margins of the tear
— released as much of the tendon off the glenoid labrum and neck of the glenoid as possible
— released and free the anterior edge down to the coracoid
— a large crescentic tear
— placing 2 free stitches
— placed two 2.8 mm anchors
— repaired the native limbs of the rotator cuff
*Xenograft Placement
— created a triangular space
— parachuted the graft in
sewing it to the medial cuff tissue
