I need help please. . . . .
Patient has septic arthritis and a fx of the femoral head. Surgeon did a capsulotomy,
then sent cultures to the lab. " The femoral head and neck were identified and removed from the acetabulum. The hip was irrigated with antibiotic solution. The IT band was closed. The main incision closed and irrigated".
I am at a loss. Do I use 27161 ?
Any help would be appreciated.
