Wiki 29862 vs 29916

[scooter1]

I find 29862 and 29916 confusing. Can someone please explain the difference?

My surgeon did a debridemnt of a labral tear. So I am using 29862?

At what point does a debridement become a repair ?
Thank you

Repair is when the labrum is reattached to the bone, with anchors, pins etc. Debridement is a surgical removal of scar tissue, dead tissue, damaged bone etc. only no reattachment in the debridement.
