My provider took a patient to the OR for I & D of diabetic foot ulcer [10160] and also took a bone bx [20240], leaving the wound open.
6 days later he returned to the OR for delayed wound closure... the surgeon freshened the wound edges then removed the sesamoid bone thru the initial incision.

My question:
Can I capture the delayed closure even though he used the same incision as his approach for the sesamoidectomy [28315-58]?

I say no...my provider and a co-worker say yes. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
