Surgeon previously performed ORIF of humerus (24516). Patient complains of shoulder pain, he finds 2 screws are loose. He removes them and then puts them back. I looked at 23473 but because it is joint repair, it is making me wonder if that is correct.
I was thinking 20680 for removal, but what about the revision of the hardware for the humeral ORIF?
