My physician did a THR with ORIF of subtrochanteric fracture on 2-26-13.
The patient subsequently fell on 4-8-13
On 4-16-13 he did a hip revision on the same hip with a ORIF femur fx.
The procedure of 2-26-13 was coded with 27130 and 27244-59
Can I coded the second procedure with 27138-78 with 27244 and use both 76/78?
Thanks for your help!!
