needing others opinions on the following please. I came up with cpt 28024. Dr wants two codes?
PROCEDURE: I took her to the operating room under a block and sedation and made a
longitudinal incision and opened fracture, resected the joint. It was obviously destroyed and it seemed like the proximal base of the phalanx was going through the medial wound. I irrigated the wound lightly, tacked it together, after the resection and irrigation and culture, with 3-0 Prolene, the dorsal wound. Placed her in a soft dressing and a boot.
also the dx is infected fracture/dislocation of the PIP joint right second toe. Not sure what dx code to use?
any suggestions on the cpt and icd codes please. thanks
