Tenolysis of flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis right ring finger ..

I am thinking this should be 26445 twice ( ?? )
But even IF that is right - do I use a 59 modifier ? or only the f8 modifier ...

Im really confused on this one !

Also the dx code for Flexon tendon adhesions would be 727.89?

Please offer your expert expertise ! Thanks

make sure your documentation fully supports two tendons, then you would use the 26445 twice, you will need to append the -59.

727.89 looks good.
