Wiki Capsular plication shoulder-Hi fellow shoulde

[Desperate Denise]

Hi fellow shoulder coders!!

What are people using for capsular plication in the shoulder??

Arthroscopic AND Open please.

I used 29825 - doc says no - he says 29999.

Open he did not give a code.

Thank you so much!!!

Is this for a Bankart repair or repair of the inferior labrum?

29999 for scope or 23929 for the open procedure....plication is tucking to shorten or decrease size of in this case of the capsule, not just a repair.
