Looking for some advice on this orthopedic knee surgery. The physician did a chondroplasty of the right patella but he also did removal of osteohondral fragment and loose body of the rt knee. The osteochondral fragment and loose body was 1 cm x 3 x 4 mm. I know the procedure for the chondroplasty would be 29877. Where the loose body that was removed was 1 cm, can I charge for this even though it was in the inferior pole of the patella (same compartment). There was no separate incision.
Has anyone else come across this? Can i use 29874 with a 51 or 59? Thanks for any assistance you can give me.
