I would appreciate any assistance in the correct cpt to the following procedure.

Patient presents with avascular necrosis of the tuberosities on a hemi shoulder. Surgeon removed and replaced the humeral head only since stem was intact, he also constructed the glenoid with a prosthetic component hence the patient now has a total shoulder replacement. I'm not sure if this would be considered a revision since the patient had a hemi not total and only the humeral head was replaced.

Any thoughts, thank you in advance.
