Does 25405 still work if the autograft is taken from the same incision as the nonunion repair? For instance, after the osteotomy is performed, the doctor removes extra callus and bone. At the end of the procedure, he uses the callus bone to create the autograft for the wedge osteotomy site.
The lay term for this procedure says " The provider harvests grafts from the iliac bone or any other long bone of the patient’s body," and the radius is consdered a long bone. It does not say anything about a separate incision.
Thoughts on this?
