Wiki Olecranon Osteophyte Excision

[Ortho Coder]

My physicians often times will do an osteophyte excision from the olecranon with the olecranon bursectomy. I have not been able to fine a code for the osteophyte excision. Does anyone know if this is bundled with the bursectomy or if there is a code I should use for this?

Thanks for any help.
