I'm trying this post in a different forum because I am REALLY hoping for some advice, please.

Does anyone know what the correct code would be for Z-plasty tendon lengthening of EHL for contracted MTP joint?

Doctor is wanting to use 28261 but that one says "midfoot" and includes a capsolotomy. It sounds like it is more for a clubfoot.

28234 would cover the cutting of the tendon, but not the lengthening and repair.

I've also read that 28208 might be an option? Any thoughts?
