I'm trying to code the following in office procedure - Patient has a degloving crush injury with xray showing traumatic amputation of distal 1/3 distal phalynx. Provider states debridement done - dorsal distal aspect of phalynx excised with rongeur & classic repair of amutation stump done. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Deb
