Does anyone know what CPT represents excising a calfication from the triceps tendon where it inserts into the olecranon process? The olecranon bursa was also excised. The op report states "the bursa tissue was excised and there was a calcified area over the olecranon process from the calcific tendinitis in the triceps region. I gently split the triceps slightly & then elevated the triceps off the calcific region & then removed that fragment, several sutures were placed to secure the triceps firmly." Any help/direction would be greatley appreciated. Thank you in advance Jody
 
"Where it inserts into the olecranon process" it is ossification ,callus formation or calcification, when it involves the olecranon process or at the insertion point , they all belong to the same family or group of description.
I would go for the pathology/lesion at the olecranon process- excision or cerettage of bone cyst or benign tumor ( or any benign mass/cyst/ even calcification can be merited to a benign mass category at this context) of olecranon process- 24120.
HE DID AN EXCISION OF OLECRANON BURSA -SO WOULD REPORT 24105 TOO.
