debridement question

Hello all,

I have 29827 and 29826

Also have humeral head osteochondral lesion and glenoid labrum debridement
"glenoid labrum debrided back to a firm edge. The patient had the OC lesion removed using a ring curette to debride back to a firm edge, removing the loose flaps with the Stryker shaver."

enough to bill 29823?

Thanks!!
