i need a little help please.

procedure is open reduction of dislocated total hip arthroplasty with revision of femoral side.

please let me know if i should code the unlisted code(27299) due to there not being any open post arthroplasty codes.

also what would the comparable code be.

thank you in advance i appreciate any help
 
Without reading the op note it's hard to tell you what code to use. IF the physician actually did a revision of the femoral component you could look at code 27138 (revision of total hip arthroplasty; femoral component only, with or without allograft). Read the op note and see if this code reflects what was done.
 
thank you !!! after reading the op note it does constitute the 27138. thank you for that direction:)
