Wiki Arthroscopic resection of osteophytes in humeral head

[joanne71178]

Shoulder arthroscopic debridement of degenerative glenoid labral tear, arthroscopic resection of the osteophytes in humeral head, arthroscopic subacromial decompression w/acromioplasty & Arthroscopic Mumford procedure, mini open repair of rotator cuff tear was performed.

Would the debridement of the labral tear be included in the open repair of rotator cuff tear , 23412 ?
29999 'compare to' 23150 for resection of osteophytes?
29824-51 Mumford
29826-51 for subacromial decompression?

I appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

I would do 29823 (Extensive Debridement) for labrum & humeral head ostephytes. Labrum debridement is not part of RC repair.

Thank you so much! That really helps me as I am rather new to Ortho coding.
