Anyone know THE PROCEDURE CODE FOR RELEASE OF PIP JOINT ?
 
I would use 28285- Correction hammertoe (eg interphalangeal fusion, partial or total phalangectomy). This is the only code I can see that would relate to the release of the PIP of the toe. Make sure to use correct T modifier to indicate which toe was released.

If it is the release of the 5th toe with a cock up and plastic skin, then use 28286.

I hope this helps!
 
yes, also it was done with a tenosynovectomy of right secound toe-,-same toe - is it bundled with the tenosynovectomy ?
