Wiki Hip Fracture

[nyyankees]

Just wanted a second opinion here. My Dr asked for a CPT for IM Nail for Hip Fracture. I was thinking (depending on site of hip fracture):

27236
27244
27248

Any comments/suggestions??

I'm looking at 27245. Lay description mentions the IM nailing.

I agree with the above post- 27245, as it describes "with intramedullary implant".

We use 27245 for IM nailling / gamma nail.

Hope that helps!!!
