Wide excision doesn't necessarily qualify it as Radical. When you look at the Musc. Skel system Radical is usually associated with a malignancy in codes description.

I use Stedman's CPT dictionary from the AMA and it states:

Radical - 1. Thorough or extensive; relating or directed to the extirpation of the root or cause of a morbid process; a radical operation. 2. Denotes treatment by extreme, drastic, or innovative, as opposed to conservative

Good Luck!
