Patient's diagnosis is displaced femoral neck fracture due to fall.
Decision was made to do a total hip replacement.
Is it correct to code 27130 for a hip fracture. Both ball and socket were replaced.
Usually code 27236 for hip fractures, but surgeon felt patient would be better
served with a total hip replacement on this particular patient.
Waiting for comments!
