Physician performed Open reduction and pinning to intra-articular distal radius fracture along with external fixator placement. Is there a CPT to capture the external fixator placement in addition to the open reduction and pinning?
 
you would code both the ORIF and the external fixator placement.

25608 (if 2 or less fragments) and 20690 (assuming uniplane)
