Patient is already in a global for a distal radius fx. Was non-compliant and re-displaced the fx and had to be taken back to the OR.
OP Note: After an adequate level of anesthesia was obtained, the fracture site was manipulated under fluoroscopy, evaluated and after several attempts at manipulation, it was felt that there was just too much callus, was not going to move, and did not feel like it was appropriate to proceed with open reduction and internal fixation at this point in the healing process. Short arm cast was applied.
I am not really sure how to go about coding this. Would it be 25605,78,52? Any help is appreciated.
