Wiki Open right gluteus minimus and medius repair with debridement and trochanteric bursectomy

[tatumroe]

I need some help with this one. Unsure if I am to use 27299?

That is correct there aren't many hip codes for open procedures.

Open trochanteric bursectomy has a code: 27062.
Open glute repair is unlisted you are correct.

I see you post a lot of ortho questions with op reports. Do you not have any assistance at your place of employment? Do you do any searches or read CPT Assistant when figuring out surgeries? If your main coding is orthopedic surgery, I would suggest you attend a Zupko/AAOS coding course. There are a # of ortho related webinars, etc. too. Look into the AAOS Complete Global Service Data for Orthopaedic Surgery books and the AAPC Coders’ Specialty Guide 2022: Orthopedics (Volume 1 & II).
