Trigger finger: one digit
Dupuytren's contracture: different digit, same hand
An incision was made for both Pxs.
Which is correct?
26055 & 26121 OR 26123 (with appropriate modifiers)
26055-Tendon sheath incision (eg, for trigger finger)
26121-Fasciectomy, palm only, with or without Z-plasty, other local tissue rearrangement, or skin grafting (includes obtaining graft)
26123-Fasciectomy, partial palmar with release of single digit including proximal interphalangeal joint, with or without Z-plasty, other local tissue rearrangement, or skin grafting (includes obtaining graft);
Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!!
