Wiki Polydactyly

Hi All - the MD performed an excision of bilateral polydactyly. I'm stumped because I was advised to use 11200, but the procedure note states an eliptical excision was made.skin and cartilage were excised. Would 26587 be more appropriate?
Any help is much appreciated

Cartilage is a stiff and inflexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies

I would use 11200 but that is my opinion

Thanks for your response What throws me off is that the description says "soft tissue" which doesn't fit cartilage or does it?
