Provider was planning on doing a peroneal tendon repair. Once the incision was made, he could not find the tendon stumps, and found the tendons were greatly retracted. After performing a detailed exploration and doing no repair or debridement whatsoever, the patient was closed up. No tendons were harvested, no allograft was placed, and the provider decided this would have to be a two stage procedure. I can not find an exploration code at all, and Im wondering if I should bill 27675 with a -52 modifier? Any help is appreciated!
