Wiki Suturing the Tendon sheath

[Mohana Prasad]

Hi:

Can anyone help me out on this.

A patient had lacerated his finger injuring the flexor tendon sheath. The sheath was sutured, followed by suture of subcutaneous & skin. Can we code this as flexor tendon repair or to code as intermediate laceration repair.

Kind Regards,
N. Mohana Prasad.

Need to know the exact location of the laceration, but I'd start in the 26356 area.
