Can anyone tell me if there is a code for a revision of an ACL that was revised once before. with the removal of old hardware
 
there is not a code for revision. The best you can do is code the appropriate CPT with the modifier 22 (Praying that the documentation supports the extra work needed for revision).

No, according the NCCI, it is necessary for the hardware to be removed in order to complete the revision surgery.

Hope this helps,
