Debridement
Procedure stated on OP note: Debridement of superficial wound of hip.
Dx on OP note: Superficial wound infection Hip
Incision was made over the cutaneous area of drainage. A large subcutaneous collection of waht appreaded to be proteinacous fluid and pocket of fluid were removed. Very little purulece was found. Hip was taken through a full range of motion ot express any fluid that might be coming from the hip, but just could not be ascertained w/ palpating finger. Pernrose drain was placed.
Should I use 11060 or 11042? I see more of an Incision and drainage than debridement. Any ideas or opinions?
Thank you in advance!
