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)
27275-not a total joint replacement-Manipulation, hip joint, requiring general anesthesia
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
27700-not a total joint replacement-Arthroplasty, ankle;
27702- is a total replacement-Arthroplasty, ankle; with implant (total ankle)
27703-is a total replacement-Arthroplasty, ankle; revision, total ankle
27704-not a total joint replacement-Removal of ankle implant
27871-not a total joint replacement -Arthrodesis, tibiofibular joint, proximal or distal
Looks like the 27702 and 27703 are total replacement?
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this.
