Wiki Repair of ruptured medial retinaculum

[PatMacc]

Are most coders assigning unlisted code 27599 for repair of ruptured medial retinaculum? Patient had previous total knee and medial retinaculum ruptured so MD used Tycron #5 figure of eight interrupted suture and Ultrabraid #2 horizontal mattress suture in between. Thank you in advance.
