Wiki Hindfoot arthrodesis

[HAPPYCODER]

Has anyone coded a hindfoot arthordesis? This is for a patient with post-traumatic arthrosis of tibiotalar and subtalar joint.

Look at 28705.

if done arthroscopically it could be 29907...but really need to read the whole op note to be sure!

28705 is for pantalar: talus-calcaneal, talus-navicular and calcaneal-cuboid.

Depending on the op note and the joints involved I would look at 28725=talus-calcaneal; or 27870=tibia/talar/calcaneal.
