The scenario is:
synovectomy done in the patellofemoral joint
Debridment of articular cartilage at the patella
Chondroplasty in the medial femor condyle
Lateral menisectomy
Is it correct to say that the menisectomy 29881, and the 29877 for the chondroplasty in the medial compartment, can be coded?
What gets me is the patella joint since the synovectomy 29875 was done along with debridment 29877 which code should be billed for since it was done in the patella?
