I AM STUCK ON THIS LABRUM REPAIR. DOCTOR DID A POSTERIOR LABRUM REPAIR DUE TO A FULL THICKNESS POSTERIOR LABRAL TEAR AT THE SUPERIOR QUADRANT WITH INSTABILITY.
REPAIR WAS DONE BY PASSING A SUTURE SHUTTLE THROUGH THE TORN PORTION OF THE POSTERIOR LABRUM AND USING A SUTURE SHUTTLE TO PASS A #2 FIBERWIRE. FIBERWIRE WAS THREADED INTO A KNOTLESS ANCHOR SYSTEM AND A DRILL HOLE WAS PLACED IN THE POSTERIOR SUPERIOR GLENOID TO ALLOW PLACEMENT OF THE FIBERWIRES INCLUDING THE ANCHOR,CAPTURING THE POSTERIOR LABRUM INTO THE RIGHT POSTERIOR GLENOID. SUTURE WAS TRIMMED AND LABRUM WAS TESTED AND FOUND STABLE.
I THINK IT SHOULD BE CODED WITH 29807 BUT DOCTOR SAYS IT IS NOT A COMPLETE SLAP REPAIR AND THINKS THIS CODE IN INCORRECT. DOES ANYONE PLEASE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.
THANKS
