Physician performed the folloiwng procedures:
1. repair of orbital floor fracture with implant, right side
2. open reduction and internal fixation of malar fracture, greater than one apporach- right side
3. Free eye msucle from scar tissue, right side
4, frost suture, right side

codes I selected

1. 21407
2. 21365
3. This is where I'm stuck
4. 67875

note excerpt: Dissection was carried further posteriorly releasing all the scar tissue, any scarred muscle and fat to the floor of the orbit. (this was done via an incision that was made along the superior eyelid crease lateraly where he first performed the 21365.

Or is it incidental? Thank you for your time.
