The patient has an OCD lesion on the femoral condyle. The provider did arthroscopic debridement of it followed by open repair with screws (no grafts). The CPT description of 29885 doesn't indicate that it would be arthroscopically aided, so I don't believe I can use it to encompass the whole procedure. However I don't see an open code. Is there something I'm missing, or do I need to code it as unlisted and compare to 29885?

Thanks!

Susan
