Correction:
Choose 29806 for Bankart Repairs
Published on Fri Oct 21, 2005
In the July Orthopedic Coding Alert, we advised coders to report 29807 (Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; repair of SLAP lesion) for arthroscopic Bankart repairs. The code recommendation should have read 29806 (Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; capsulorrhaphy) instead. We apologize for the error.
