Per my surgeons OP report, he did the following:

1. Lateral ankle ligament reconstruction delayed repair with augmentation using Arthrex allograft material.
2. Foreign body removal.

I am new to Foot and Ankle coding - any help is appreciated on what you think I should use.
 
27695, 27696 or 27698 and the foreign body remvl may be incidental depending on your op note. You'll need to know primary = collateral vs both collateral ligaments; or 2ndry = repair done some time after the incident of injury or following a previous sx .

I'm guessing from the note you have 'delayed repair' that it would be 27698, but again verify with your operative note/ligaments.
