I'm coding a surgery of a "nonunion of left hallux interphalangeal joint". The procedure performed is a "Repair of nonunion left hallux interphalangeal joint with autogenous bone graft taken from the calcaneus".

I only see two codes for repair of nonunions in the foot. 29320 for tarsal bones and 28322 for metatarsal.

Does anyone know what I would use for the hallux/interphalangeal joint repair?

Thanks so much!

Kelly
