Patient has a Salter-Harris III distal tibia fracture with fibular fracture, Weber C. Closed reduction was performed and two 3.5mm partialy threaded cannulated screws were placed with excellent purchase. These were placed in percutaneous fashion. Alignment was achieved. The fibula lined up nicely after reduction of the tibia.
What code would be appropriate? I'm looking at 27756-Percutaneous skeletal fixation of tibial shaft fracture(w/wo fibula fracture). I'm thinking this is just the distal part of the shaft....is that correct? 27825 didn't seem right, closed treatment.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
