Need help with CPT code for this procedure:
Open Repair of Osteochondral Defect
Outpatient
DX from MRI: Large, 2.8 cm loose/displaced osteochondral fragment along peripheral anterolateral femoral condyle, donated from lateral femoral trochlea where there is a large osteochondral defect and bone marrow edema.
[no other findings which would support recent transient lateral patella dislocation].
Looked at 27415-27416. Dr says no, he is going to do open repair of
osteochondral fracture.
Looked at CPT 27556.
Need some guidance.
Thank you,
CW
