repair

Is there a seperate CPT® code for plantar plate repair of mtp joint with allowgraft when a Weil osteotomy (28308) was performed? Should I use the unlisted?

re: repair

The Weil osteotomy is done for plantar plate deficient MTP joints Some surgeons consider adding a flexor tendon transfer to the procedure. Combined Plantar Plate Repair And Weil Osteotomy you probably should use an unlisted code.
The dorsal approach for anatomic plantar plate repair provides a combined alternative to fully correct the complex nature of both a plantar plate repair and metatarsal deformity. The dorsal approach of this procedure allows the surgeon appreciation of both severe and subtler plantar plate injuries that may not be clearly evident from a plantar approach. This approach also allows for metatarsal realignment and prevention of a plantar scar
