Wiki Excision- Heterotopic issification hip?

[cvzzz]

Anyone coded this? I have a code that a doctor used but not sure if it is correct.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I asked and he said he was not in the capsule? so if they just did the excision part?

thanks

op report just says hip

I would request further clarification from the surgeon then. My guess is that it was the femur, but you will need to know for sure which bone it was.
