[ORT-L] Tibial Plateau Fx - CPT Coding	Can't Post

Is it permissible to add a CPT code for knee arthrotomy (27310) when
submitting a CPT code for tibial plateau fx ORIF (27535 unicondylar,
27536 bicondylar)? Thank you.

Thanks Mark,
Here's what Brad Henley had to say:

Arthrotomy is included in the open repair of tibial plateaus,
however, mensical repairs are not. Removal of loose bodies is also
included in all intraarticular fractures (e.g. patella).

Thanks very much to you and Paula for the HWB contribution. Hopefully
we can find a way to continue to work together in this era of HIPAA.
See NY Times attachment by Atul Gawande. Hope you can come to the HWB
Mtg in SF. Thurs March 6, 11:30-14:30, W Hotel, Great Room 2.

Best regards,

Bill
