Wiki Tibial Cheilectomy

[Valerie813]

My doc did a procedure which he labeled: distial tibial cheilectomy. I read through the OP report and he excised an osteophyte. I cannot decide on a CPT code for this. Anyone code this before?

THANK YOU!

look @ 27635. Bone cyst, osteophyte, exostosis....726.91,....does this fit your operative note?

Yes. Thank you! That is the code I used and it fit.
