Hello all,
Dx: Metatarsalgia, rt 2nd
Procedure: 2nd metatarsal osteotomy, right
I have 28308 w/ screw placement then goes on to say
"There was still a slight medial angulation here, therefore, an incision was made at the lateral metatarsalphalangeal jt capsule and the lateral metatarsalphalangeal jt capsule was overlapped and sutured w/ 3-0 Vicryl. This cinched up the capsule laterally and balanced the medial lateral deformity.
Would this also be 28270 or would this bundle in the primary procedure?
I see this time to time and question it...thanks for any help!
