Default Tibio-Talo-Calcaneal Fusion
What CPT code is used for a tibiotalocalcaneal fusion? I was thinking 28705 but I can't seem to find enough information to feel good about it. I was hoping someone on here has more experience with this procedure than I. Thank you for taking time to read this :-)

Default Tibio-talo-calcaneal fusion
Generally this is a combination of a subtalar and an ankle fusion. A tibio-talar fusion is an ankle fusion 27870. The talo-calcaneal would be 28725.
