Wiki Correction of Deformed Arthritic IPJs of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes with joint implants

[askmmbg@gmail.com]

Can someone confirm how to code this: Correction of Deformed Arthritic IPJs of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes with joint implants.

Body says: Incision was made over the IP and MPJ of 4th right foot. Sharp blunt dissection made down to EDL where a Tendon Lengthening was made to expose the PIPj. Attention directed to the arthritic PP head where an osteotomy was made. Other arthritic bone was removed. The head was further Ostectomized. A drill hole was made into the central shaft to accept the implant in the proximal and distal portion. The same procedure was repeated the the 2nd and 3rd right.

Thank you.

Hi,
If you post your inquiry in the Orthopedics forum someone may answer. This section is for general surgery specialty coding, not general inquiries. I hope this makes sense and good luck!
