New to ortho trauma coding and needed help with ICD-9 coding for the following situation:
Pt is status post gunshot wound and had bullet retianed in femoral head which also caused acetabulm fx. My doc removed the bullet from the femoral head, but did not treat the acetabulm fx or the superficial gunshot wound.
My thoughts were to code: 890.1????? and V90.89???? with CPT code 27033
Is this correct? I am totally lost on this one. Thanks!!
