2008年3月14日 · Hi everyone. Does anybody know what code would be best to use for retrograde intramedullary nailing of a supracondylar femoral fx (patient is also s/p TKA)? Would 27511 still cover the procedure done? I am not sure I can use the 27506 code since there is a specific code/s for supracondylar & transcondylar fxs.

2019年11月5日 · Basically, my doctor treated a supracondylar distal femur fracture with intercondylar extension by both ORIF (w/ plate, screws, and K-wires) and also an IM nail. I'm trying to decide between either: 27513 - (Open treatment of femoral supracondylar or transcondylar fracture with intercondylar extension, includes internal fixation, when performed)

2017年2月28日 · After that, the IM rod (nail) is then placed. The femur is opened and a wire with a ball tip is placed down the canal for measurement. Afterword the nail is placed and then secured with pins. Look at your note and see what hardware was used. You stated that the physician placed an IM in the femur: 27506 would be correct if its a shaft fracture.

2020年7月27日 · What CPT(s)? They took out the lag screw and then placed a shorter lag screw. The locking mechanism for the helical blade was then engaged. 20680 & Unlisted(27599)? If so, what comparison code. Thank you,

He fixes the fracture using an intramedullary implant, or an implant the provider places inside the canal of the femur to stabilize the fractured bones. He may also use interlocking screws and or cerclage, a metal band or wire loop, that the provider wraps around the fragments to help hold the fracture fragments in place.

2012年5月21日 · Answer: You report a simple intramedullary nail for femur fracture. Look at code 27509 ( Percutaneous skeletal fixation of femoral fracture, distal end, medial or lateral condyle, or supracondylar or transcondylar, with or without intercondylar extension, or distal femoral epiphyseal separation ).

2020年5月16日 · Question on coding for this procedure Patient Diagnosis: Intertrochanteric Fracture of Left Hip Procedure: Long TFN fixation of intertrochanteric fracture Complications: An intraoperative extension of femoral fracture [Short 11 mm nail on impacting, caused crack in...

2024年6月26日 · The code you want to use for is 27245 because it is specifically for IM Nailing of an intertrochanteric fracture. 27236 for the fixation of a femoral neck fracture.

2014年9月15日 · What CPT code would you bill when the surgeon does an intramedullary (gamma nail) nailing of the distal femur for a pathologic femur fracture?

2011年10月27日 · Pt had breast cancer and the cancer has spread down to the patients femur. My Dr wants to do intramedullary nailing to the femur for preventative purposes, to pretty much help prevent a fracture etc to the the patients femur. What code would I use for this? Everything Im finding is already is for if the patient already has a fracture.
