My physicians and I are disagreeing with the way this surgery should be coded.
The procedure is an ORIF of the midshaft radius and ulna. I have 2 physicians as co-surgeons. One physician performed the reduction and fixation on the radius and one physician performed the reduction and fixation on the ulna. Each as co-surgeon for the other.
Any opinions as to how this should be coded?

or
25515-62
25515-62
25545-62
25545-62
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
