Modified Brostrom-Gould procedure codes to 27698. Can be primary or secondary. Disrumpted ligaments; ankle codes to 27695 or if both 27696.

Yes, I would report 27698 (Brostrum) and 27635 (NOT 27640-unless it's for osteomyelitis and significant excision of bone; for excision of exostosis use 27365 (tib. or fib.) per CPT note under the 27640 in parenthesis and 28100 (talus). with 59 modifier fib,bone) and 51( talus.bone).
