Can I please get help with procedure code(s) for the following procedure(s)?
Procedure: Nerve Block, Nail Trephination, nail Bed Reconstruction with suture
The patient's thumbnail was carefully lifted from the bed with copious irrigation of nail bed and thorough inspection. No FB visualized, no lacerations visualized. Nail was then trephinated with cautery kife and placed back into place with the nail bed. A 3-0 nylon monofilament suture was then placed through the trephinated hole at the medial-inferior edge of nailbed, and sutured into place. Patient's thummbnail was then covered with bacitracin adn strile gauze, wrapped in ace bandage for further support.
Thank you for any help.
