Wiki Extensor Mechanism Reconstruction

[kellit21]

Patient has a chronic patellar tendon disruption and the physician has decided to complete an extensor mechanism allograft reconstruction on the knee. I have asked him about the patellar tendon repair code and he doesn't agree to this code. Can anyone help me with this?

Unfortunately he doesn't like those codes either because he states the patella isn't dislocated.
