I would recommend posting your op note in the orthopedic section. You will get specialty specific help far quicker and probably with more accuracy than in the general discussion board.

I am not an ortho coder, but your op note seems very choppy and incomplete to me. Maybe it will make more sense to someone with experience in this specialty. Good LUck!
 
Thank you for your reply ....

i did like you said .... hope they will helo me to get the correct code
