Patient had prior humeral head resurfacing.
Now the doctor has removed that and did a total shoulder. . . .
I have several options in my head, LOL.
Do I use
23472
23334-51
or
23474-52 or maybe someone has a better suggestion ? I need help please

I can't be certain without the medical record but if the physician is revising an arthoplasty in 2013 it is 23473 (humeral or glenoid) or 23474 (humeral and glenoid), prior to 2013 these codes did not exist. 23331 was completely deleted in 2014 also.
