I need help in determining if to code for both the THA and the ORIF of the greater trochanter fracture.
MD wants to bill 27130 and 27248
What happened is that during the procedure a greater trochanter fracture occured (complication of the surgery). This was repaired separately with trochanteric claw and cables to stablize the fracture.
I already planned on icd-9 codes of 998.89 and 820.20 for the fx.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
