Wiki Interosseous ligament stabilization for a Essex-Lopresti injury

[Carsil864]

Does anyone know of a code (or comparable code for an unlisted CPT) for an interosseous ligament stabilization? I am also billing 25337 and wonder if it may be included in that code. The torn central band of the interosseous membrane was reinforced to promote healing in anatomic alignment using an Arthrex syndesmotic tight rope.

Thank you!

You might look at 25320 to see if that is a good code for the repair. However, that does bundle to 25337 so you could only bill 25337.
