Question calcaneal-cuboid fusion with hindfoot cancellous graft

I need an opinion for coding this.

I am coding a hindfoot calcaneal-cuboid fusion which i have coded with 28740. My question is through a seperate incision the surgeon took a cancellous calcaneal bone graft? Would i use 20900? I have no idea what to use.


Thanks!
