I was going to use CPT code 23472. However now I am wondering should I be using CPT code 23616?
thanks
Thanks in advance.
The foot exsanguinated and the tourniquet inflated. A classic Mann style distal soft tissue release was done and then a proximal osteotomy of the 1st metatarsal using the Mau osteotomy with the PROMO system. An excellent correction was obtained. Fixation was with the plate and the additional 3.0 mm lag screw. Partial resection of the medial eminence was done and medial capsule plication done too. Closure done with the tourniquet deflated. The adductor hallucis tendon sutured to the medial eminence.
The proximal row carpectomy is 25215 but the capitate resurfacing wrist arthoplasty w/implant has me stuck. Has anyone looked into this coding for this procedure before? They seem to have a arthoplasty with prosthetic replacements for a variety of other carpal bones however not the Capitate.
Help with a CPT code this procedure would be much appreciated. Thank you
