I was looking for a CPT code for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with allograft via scope. I came up with 29999. Does anyone have a better code?

Always like second opinions..

Just my two cents, I would look at 27427, Allografts are included in the procedure.

 

[nyyankees]

it's arthroscopic..

 

[ivonneatanacio]

I would go then with unlisted 29999.

MPFL reconstruction with grafting

If open it would be more of 27422 not 27427 --- 27422 Reconstruction of dislocating patella; with extensor realignment and/or muscle advancement or release (eg, Campbell, Goldwaite type procedure) and per AAOS included in this would be a lateral release.

I agree with 29999 for the scope and compare to 27422.
