Pt has DJD of the shoulder. Procedure states hemiarthroplasty, however the glenoid component was fine and was NOT replaced. The humeral component WAS placed. Now cpt 23470 states arthoplasy, glenohumeral joint; hemiarthroplasty....would I use this code or the unlisted code? My surgeon doesn't see too many total shoulders...we mostly do knees and hips so this one is new to me. ;o)
