I need help I have a Dr that did a decompression of the syndesmosis from scar tissue and adhesions and I am not sure how to code that they also did a decompression deep peroneal nerve. The op report states
Attention was directed over the syndesmosis where approximately a 3 to 3.5 inch linear incision was made from the syndesmosis distally along the lateral malleus. The incision was deepened via sharp and blunt dissection with all vital structures identified, retracted and ligated as necessary. There was no sign of any sharp tissue mass or organized mass as far as a distinct ganglion or lipoma type tissue. There were adhesions surrounding the syndesmosis with possibility of entrapment of the superficial peroneal nerve in this area. This was freed from surrounding tissure.
Any suggestions would be great!!!! Thanks and have a great day!!!
