Arthroscopic exam revealed significant fraying and detachment of the whole supraspinatus and infraspinatus complex with debris along the tear. The tear was also extended into the interval between the Supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Shavers were used to extensively debride the rotator cuff underside and attachment point. A mini open transverse incicsion was then carried out through the deltoid, splitting the deltoid. The Patient's supraspinatus and infraspinatus were identified and freshened. The repair was performed with two super mitek anchors, each with two #4 fiberwire sutures locking. We then had a solid repair.
Doctor is stating 23420 and 29823. I was thinking 23412 and 29822. Would like help with this, please.
And what would definitively make this a 23420 vs the 23412 ? I also did not feel the
debridement was "extensive" and requiring 29823. Help please ?
