Not sure if I should code 11045, 11046, or 97597, 97598, any ideas?
Patient had a right trochanteric decubitus ulcer with a wound vac placement (less than 100 cm area ) debrided to healhthy tissue. The greater trochanter now exposed in wound.
Operative report.
The right hip was then prepped with betadine and draped in the standard fashion. Devitalized tissue was debrided sharply to the level of healthy appearing tissue. Unfortunately, removal of the non-viable tissue exposed the greater trochanter. Hemostasis was achieved. A white vac sponge was used on the deepest tissue, followed by the black sponge and transpent dressing. A Vac was connected to suction and functioned normally.
