In general, the physician debrides fx site, aligns fractures, and uses external fixation to stabilize with plans for internal fixation in 2 weeks because of the damage to soft tissues. Would you only bill the debridement and application of external fixation for the first surgery? Application of external fixation states to bill fx care as well. Would I bill anything for the algning the bone? If so, would I bill fx again when the patient is taken back to the OR?

Thank you!
