A 30-year-old female is having 15 sq cm debridement performed on an infected ulcer with eschar on
the right foot. Using sharp dissection, the ulcer was debrided all the way to down to the bone of the
foot. The bone had to be minimally trimmed because of a sharp point at the end of the metatarsal.

was dressed with sterile saline and dressings and then wrapped. What CPT® code should be
reported?

Question 5
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Right scaphoid fracture. TYPE OF PROCEDURE: Open reduction and
internal fixation of right scaphoid fracture. DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was brought
to the operating room; anesthesia having been administered. The right upper extremity was
prepped and draped in a sterile manner. The limb was elevated, exsanguinated, and a pneumatic
arm tourniquet was elevated. An incision was made over the dorsal radial aspect of the right wrist.
Skin flaps were elevated. Cutaneous nerve branches were identified and very gently retracted. The
interval between the second and third dorsal compartment tendons was identified and entered. The
respective tendons were retracted. A dorsal capsulotomy incision was made, and the fracture was
visualized. There did not appear to be any type of significant defect at the fracture site. A 0.045
Kirschner wire was then used as a guidewire, extending from t ✔- A. 25628-RT
An infant with genu valgum is brought to the operating room to have a bilateral medial distal femur
hemiepiphysiodesis done. On each knee, the C-arm was used to localize the growth plate. With the
growth plate localized, an incision was made medially on both sides. This was taken down to the
fascia, which was opened. The periosteum was not opened. The Orthofix® figure-of-eight plate was
placed and checked with X-ray. We then irrigated and closed the medial fascia with 0 Vicryl suture.
The skin was closed with 2-0 Vicryl and 3-0 Monocryl®. What procedure code is reported?

position fluoroscopically. A transverse incision was made just inferior to this and a subcutaneous
pocket created just inferior to this. After tunneling, the introducer was placed over the guide wire
