We have a hand surgeon joining our practice very soon. In previous orthopedic workshops, the instructors state that hand and foot surgery is an all day workshop in itself. Needless to say, I have been re-reviewing the anatomy of the hand. I have some really good websites for hand anatomy but does anyone have any recommendations on surgical examples? One of my orthopedic surgeons performed an extensive surgery on the hand and I actually coded it correctly (grinding teeth the whole time). He doesn't provide any hints on how to code it...he simply gives you the op note. I don't know about some of you...but since I'm not a nurse...some of these are really, really hard. Anyway...if someone could give some advice, I would really appreciate it. Mary (mbort), I may be knocking on your door...(not to put you on the spot. )
