Wiki Exostosis removal

Does anyone know the CPT code for removal of exostosis from the talus bone?



I appreciate your help.

Look at CPT code 28118--Ostectomy, calcaneus.

Ostectomy is the surgical removal of a bone or part of a bone.

Exostosis is a bony growth on the surface of a bone or tooth.

I don't think 28118 is correct because that's for the calcaneus bone, I need a code for the talus.

I came up with 28100.

28120 for an exostosis of talus.
