29888 Arthroscopically aided ACL repair/augmentation/reconstruction
29877 Arthroscopy, knee, debridement/shaving articular cartilage
They cannot be billed together but they were.
MD reports:
1. Laparoscopic ACL reconstruction with Achilles tendon allograft.
2. Arthroscopic chondroplasty of patella.
3. Arthroscopic chondroplasty of medial femoral condyle.
Is this 29867 - arthroscopy, knee osteochondral allograft?
"She had a 1+ Lachman and a 1/2-1+ medial collateral both of moderate end points. We then noted the femoral fascia of the ACL was interrupted. We obtained a grafting from the bone bank, shaped this on the back table. We then made an incision over the proximal medial tibia, dissected down to the pes anserine tendon for the tibial tunnel site for drilling later in the case. The scope was replace in the knee. The old ACL was shaved with a shaver and some synovium was taken out of the anterior part of the knee.
