2016年4月19日 · If the distal ulnar fracture is not a styloid fracture, but is of the ulnar head or neck, then it my or may not require specific attention in the treatment/reduction process. If it reduces well along with the distal radius after manipulation, then it would still be included in the 25605 code. I hope this helps.

2018年11月2日 · Need help please! Patient presented with both bone shaft fracture radius and ulna. The doctor states in his note: "I placed a small flexible intramedullary nail in her radius. I did not have to open this." He also states in procedure description: "I initially made a small incision just proximal to the growth plate of the distal radius.

2017年5月12日 · The code for the distal ulna fracture seems to always point to the "styloid" of the ulna. Well the styloid was not fractured or treated. It was the metaphyseal portion. A plate was used for ORIF. So would this be coded as a "shaft" fracture. Seems you can only choose "shaft" or "styloid" for the distal radius. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

2024年10月11日 · Remember to append S52.134A (Nondisplaced fracture of neck of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture) and S52.224A (Nondisplaced transverse fracture of shaft of right ulna, initial encounter for closed fracture) to 25565 to represent the patient’s radial and ulnar

2019年8月7日 · A patient with a distal radius fracture along with an ulnar styloid fracture is seen in the office. During the office visit, the patient is casted and makes the decision to proceed with an ORIF of the distal radius fracture. This surgery scheduled on the day of the initial visit and is performed within 2-3 days.

Patient has both a distal radius fracture and a distal ulna fracture that need to be repair. My physician is asking whether to code 25607 and 25545 or just the one CPT 25575. I'm feeling like the two...

2009年7月4日 · Be careful: You shouldnt confuse these codes with the existing torus fracture code 813.45 (Torus fracture of radius) and other radius and ulnar fracture codes specified in the 813.xx (Fracture of radius and ulna) range. Secondly, youll need to know 832.2 (Nursemaids elbow). Most likely, you will use 832.2 for pediatric patients between 1 to 3 ...

2019年6月7日 · There’s a baker’s dozen of CPT ® codes to choose from in the radial/ulnar shaft fracture repair section, starting with 25500 (Closed treatment of radial shaft fracture; without manipulation) and ending at 25575 (Open treatment of radial AND ulnar shaft fractures, with internal fixation, when performed; of radius AND ulna).

2020年11月5日 · Pt has distal radius fracture and an ulnar shaft fracture. Both are repaired with percutaneous pinning. I was thinking 25606 for radius but what for ulnar shaft fracture. In the past I was told to use 25535 for the ulna. Description: ....Under orthogonal fluoroscopic imaging, a closed reduction was performed.

2010年6月16日 · I was wondering if this was a typo. 25575 is open treatment of radial/ulna shaft, with internal fixation. 11011 is debridement of open fracture which I would agree with if it is an open fracture. unless I am reading the report incorrectly, which is possible, this is kind of a tricky situation. you may have to use 25999-unlisted procedure and ...
