Need some help please :) One of my providers is doing and Achilles tendon lengthening and a capsular release. I have 27685 for the tendon lengthening, but am at a loss for the capsular release. Here is that part of the OP note:

There was a significant amount of scar tissue around the subtalar joint and posterior capsule. This was excised.

Would this be included in the tendon lengthening? It's not through a seperate incision.

Thanks!
 
Please use 27612 for both procedures together.
