I can't seem to find any information on treating toe dislocations. Is 28515 appropriate?
 
"Code 28515 is for a fracture, not a dislocation so it would not be appropriate. If the dislocation is at the MTP joint, look at 28630. If it was in the toe joint, look at 28660. FYI, I have been coding ortho surgeries for about nine years."
Thank you, this is very helpful. As far as anesthesia, this includes local injection too, yes?
