Hello,
Can someone help find the appropriate code for the following report?:
( it is both bones, I just was unsure if the physician would have to specify proximal/distal in order to determine the code.)
Preop DX: Both Bone forearm FX of LT arm.
Name of op: Closed reduction under anesthesia and application of long-arm cast, left arm.
Op Report: The patient was kept on his emergency room strectcher and was manipulated to an anatomic reduction. This was checked in all planes on the image intensifier. After Satisfactory reduction was achieved then a long arm cast was applied. The cast was well molded.
Also I believe the cast is included.
Thanks!
