From what I can gather through these posts, the ACL is in the PF compartment. I have an op note and these procedures were performed:
1- ACL reconstruction - 29888
2- Medial Menisectomy - 29881
3- Condroplasty of the PF - 29877
4- Synovectomy - Med and Lat - 29876
I would say that the Chondroplasty is included in the ACL since it is in the same compartment - deleting 29877
Also, the Med Synovectomy is included in the Med Menisectomy - changing 29876 to 29875-59 -
My doc is stating that the ACL is not in a compartment but I can not find any hard documentation to prove it to him... Does anyone have something that they can share so I can educate him???
