HI I am second guessing myself and would like some opinions please.
Does the following documentation support a 29824 (for the distal clavicle resection) and a 29826 (decompression of subacromial space)
"I then turned my attention subacromially. I did a subtotal bursectomy using a shaver and ArthroCare. I then burred down the anterior type 2-3 hooked acromion
using a 5.5 barrell burr, as well as the lateral acromion. I localized the AC joint. This was stenotic and arthritic. I removed the distal centimeter of clavicle and re-created the AC joint space. My decompression was complete. All instrumentation was removed. My portals were closed with steri-strips. A sterile dressing was applied. "
Thank you!
Kristy
