What CPT would you use for a ball head exchange of a unipolar arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture? Would you use 27236 again?

I don't think 27138 is correct as that is for a total hip arthroplasty revision. I looked at some of the other posts re: hemiarthroplasty hip revision and I want to make sure I am understanding the other replies.

Thanks so much and have a good weekend.

I would use 27236-52 since it's just a head exchange.
