Surgeon #1 and Surgeon #2 removed the hardware from a patient's total knee replacement done one week previously because of a post-op wound infection, and did a repeat total knee replacement. When attempting to close the wound, they were unable to do so, and therefore, Surgeon #3 was called in to perform a flap procedure (15738). He performed this without any assistants.
Do we need to code Surgeon #3's procedure with any modifiers?
