My doctor states he did a CMC interpostion arthroplasty with trapezial excision and
STT interpostion arthroplasty.
The report reads:
Dissection was carried out at the base of the 1st metacarpal as well as around the trapezium. Using an oscillating saw, a four-quadrant cut was made into the trapezium.
using a rongeur, the trapezium was fully excised. There was severe osteophytic spurring on the STT joint identified and moderate arthritic changes of the CMC joint present. With the trapezium fully excised, the STT joint at the scaphotrapezoid level was visualized. There was narrowing and a sclerotic appearance to the articulation. Using a bone saw, a wafer of bone was removed at the level of the STT joint from the proximal aspect of the trapezoid.
I am thinking 25447 and 25210. But not sure. Would really appreciate some guidance.
Thank you
