Summary
In this procedure, the provider performs open treatment of a tarsal bone dislocation, which is abnormal separation of a joint. She may or may not use internal fixation implants like pins or screws to fix the dislocation. This code excludes talotarsal joints. Tarsal bones are located in the midfoot and rearfoot area and are seven in number: talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, and lateral cuneiform. A talotarsal joint is a joint of the talus with another tarsal bone.
