Wiki Corticotomy

[jdemar]

I have a patient that has had numerous previous surgeries for non-union, osteomyelitis and now with a 3-cm tibial defect. My Dr. is going to do a proximal corticotomy on the tibal defect...do I use an unlisted code? Thank you in advance.

same question

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions for this old post? I have the same quest: tibial osteoplasty for bone transport with proximal tibial corticotomy to regenerate bone defect. No mention of fibular. it's a revision of a multiplanar fixator. Pt. is an adult s/p mva.
Thank you for any guidance.
