I need help in coding this surgery. This patient had a very comminuted intra-articular distal radius fracture - she was taken to surgery an incision was made, the pronator quadratus was dissected off the radius. She had multiple fragments. He tryed to use K wires to put the pieces back together, but the fragments would not hold. He therefore, decided to to external fixation. Am I able to bill for his attempt along with application of the external fixator. If so, how would I code this?
