Wiki LT/RT or Toe Modifier?

[Billington]

"Attention was next directed to the left second, third, and fourth rays where a Z-Plasty tendon lengthenings were performed at the metatarsophalangeal joint levels dropping the toes into rectus alignment."

I am using code 28234.

I wish to use the LT/RT modifiers since he says it was done at the MPJ. However someone else is saying perhaps the toe modifiers are what I should be using.

Any opinions/documentation one way or the other would be great.

Metatarsophalangeal would indicate toes. I code for a foot specialist and he confirmed this.

It was for hammertoe. Thank you so much for advising. I will go with the toe modifiers.
