Operation states: Resection Dupuytrens cords of long, ring, & small fingers & palm.
I am not sure if I should code 26121 or 26123, 26125 for the following:
... incisions were marked over the ring finger which would satisfactorily expose the small and long finger cords. The palmar fibrosis was dissected, the neurovascular bundles in the interspaces and intermetacarpal spaces were dissected with loupe magnification & littler scissors. The interstices and intervening fibrous tissue was dissected into the interspaces of the metacarpals & resected along the long, ring and small finger rays.
thanks for any imput.
