Wiki Periprosthetic Humerus Fracture

[sloseke]

Hi! I'm hoping to get some help coding this case!
Post op dx: Left periprosthetic humerus fracture at the level of the total shoulder
Proceudre performed: Open reduction, internal fixation of a left humerus periprosthetic fracture.

I've got the ICD 10 code, but I am wondering if there is a specific CPT code for the ORIF of the periprosthetic fracture in the humerus?

Any input at all is greatly appreciated!

More detail of where the fracture is located on the humerus would help. Did the physician replace any existing internal fixation? Ultimately I would go with location of the fracture on the humerus and select the appropriate ORIF code: 24579, 24575, 23630, 23615-23616, 24515, 24545-24546.

hope this helps.
