I have a question regarding 2 situations with fractures.
1. Patient with buckle fracture of the distal ulna, closed reduction performed. Is there a separate CPT code only distal ulna or would I use 25600 ??
2. Patient has a displaced comminuted fractures of the metaphysis of the radius and the ulna and a nondisplaced fracture of the ulnar styloid(25650). A closed reduction of the comminuted fractures were performed but the there was still some displacement of the radius fracture. So how would I code the comminuted fractures? 25605-52 for radius? and what about the ulna?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
