1) reason for admition is knee pain/trauma s/p knee replacement
(there is no dating when the surgery has been done and I don't know who is the reffering physician - pcp or ortho...) - normal exam on xray.


Should I code it as
v5481 / v4365
or
71946/v4365


2) reason for admition is hip pain/trauma
impression: healing fx s/p ORIF (no orif dating)

Should I code it as

or any other way

Thanks
