Patient had a left total knee arthroplasty with [open] lateral patellar release [left.] Could someone tell me if this is one procedure, 27447-LT with the lateral patellar release included,

or two procedures with a modifer on the lateral patellar release?

I am experiencing difficulty finding a CPT code for an open lateral patellar release.

Thank you for your time
Wendy
