Wanting to know if the following CPT codes are considered Total Joint Replacements:


23616-not a total joint replacement-Open treatment of proximal humeral (surgical or anatomical neck) fracture, includes internal fixation, when performed, includes repair of tuberosity(s), when performed; with proximal humeral prosthetic replacement

23700-not a total joint replacement-Manipulation under anesthesia, shoulder joint, including application of fixation apparatus (dislocation excluded)

21720-not a total joint replacement-Division of sternocleidomastoid for torticollis, open operation; without cast application

27122-not a total joint replacement-Acetabuloplasty; resection, femoral head (eg, Girdlestone procedure)

27437-not a total joint replacement-Arthroplasty, patella; without prosthesis

27470-not a total joint replacement-Repair, nonunion or malunion, femur, distal to head and neck; without graft (eg, compression technique)

27488-not a total joint replacement-Removal of prosthesis, including total knee prosthesis, methylmethacrylate with or without insertion of spacer, knee

27702- is a total replacement-Arthroplasty, ankle; with implant (total ankle)

27704-not a total joint replacement-Removal of ankle implant

Looks like the 27702 and 27703 are total replacement?

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this.
