Can I use 27720 for lateral tibial plateau malunion fracture. The code does not specify, when i read the description and look at the picture it shows the shaft??? Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks

tibial plateau fracture
Question from physician:
A young woman had a tibial plateau fracture that was fixed out of state. She had a screw which was too long so I performed a procedure to remove the one screw and replace it with a shorter one. Should I just code removal of deep implant?
Thank you for your responses, Happy Thanksgiving
