    Wiki CPT for bone marrow aspiration and injection for meniscus repair ??

    Physiian repaired the meniscus. After that, he aspirated some bone morrow and injected into the meniscus repair. I have never seen that done before. Is there a code for this procedure? Is it separately reported or part of the meniscus repair? Any ideas ???

    Wiki Acute vs injury

    I'm curious if acute always implies an injury. Ex: Patient's knee just popped out of joint. Diagnosis includes a tear of medial meniscus. Is an "S" or "M" code used? Patient was not doing anything but walking. Thank you.
