PROCEDURE PERFORMED:
REVISION ARTHROPLASTY OF CMC JOINT, RT THUMB, WITH REMOVAL OF INTERPOSITIONAL IMPLANT AT THE BASE OF THE THUMB METACARPAL.
REVISION CMC ARTHROPLASTY USING THE FLEXOR CARPI RADIALIS TENDON AND A SLIP OF THE ABDUCTOR POLLICIS LONGUS TENDON.
NOT SURE IF I SHOULD CODE 25447,25310,20680 OR 25449,25310!!
ANY ADVISE WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL :confused:

I would use 25447,25310,20680.
 
25449 is most appropriate. Your hardware removal would be included. Also, look in the 26480 area for your tendon.
 
I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK!! HOWEVER THE ADVISE IS CONFLICTING...AND THATS MY PROBLEM..I CANT DECIDE. ANY OTHER OPINIONS? ANYWHERE I CAN FIND WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION??
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP AND YOUR TIME :confused:
