my doctor performed what he labled a 'microfracture technique of the articular surface of the 3rd mcp joint'. he states "holes were drilled using a 45 k pin in the arthritic area and centrally, the mcp joint, multiple punctate holes for hopefully the regrowth of cartilage."
can anyone help me with this code? to me it sounds like little more than arthrotomy so if anyone can clarify this better it would be appreciated.
thanks.
