Trapezius repair with clavicle ORIF
I have the same question. The surgeon usually repairs the trapezius muscle, which has been buttonholed and lacerated by the high-impact clavicle fracture, when he does the ORIF. I want to know if this repair is included in the ORIF, and does that apply to fractures generally?
If it's not included, what code would apply? I don't see using 24341 (Repair, tendon or muscle, upper arm or elbow, each tendon or muscle, primary or secondary (excludes rotator cuff), because the trapezius muscle is located on the back, not the arm.
Can anyone suggest a resource that lists what procedures are included in the fracture codes?
