Does anyone know what an "Eaton" procedure is (hand coding)

[Orthocoderpgu]

My doc did a CMC arthroplasty and provided code 26685. Problem is that 26685 cannot be used for the thumb, and of course this was the thumb. He told me that he performed an "Eaton Procedure". Does anyone know what that is by name by chance? Thanks.

Hi Orthocoder,

CPT 25447 with 25310 / 25312 is the expected CPT codes.

Here is the reference for Eaton procedure.

Thank you so much for that information

Thanks for that information. Not sure why that did not come up on Google.
