A 50 year-old male had surgery on his upper leg one day ago to
remove an intramuscular tumor and presents with serous drainage
from the wound. He was taken back to the operating room for
evaluation of a hematoma. His wound was explored down to the
rectus femoris muscle, and there was a hematoma which was very
carefully evacuated. The wound was irrigated with antibacterial
solution, and the wound was closed in multiple layers. What CPT®
and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
A) 27301-78, M96.840
B) 10140-79, M96.810
C) 27603-78, T81.4XXA
D) 10140-76, T81.9XXA - ANSWERS-A
,A 3 year-old is brought into the ED crying. He cannot bend his left
arm after his older brother twisted it. The physician performs an X-
ray to diagnose the patient has a dislocated nursemaid elbow. The
ED physician reduces the elbow successfully. The patient is able to
move his arm again. The patient is referred to an orthopedist for
follow-up care. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
A) 24600-54-LT, S53.002A, W49.9XXA
B) 24640-54-LT, S53.091A, W50.2XXA
C) 24565-54-LT, S53.194S, Y33.XXXA
D) 24640-54-LT, S53.032A, W50.2XXA - ANSWERS-D
This 36 year-old female presents with an avulsed anterior cruciate
ligament off the femoral condyle with a complete white on white
horizontal cleavage tear of the posterior horn of the medial
meniscus, causing instability. A general endotracheal anesthesia
was performed, and the patient was placed supine on the operating
table. The right lower extremity was prepped with Betadine and
draped free. Standard arthroscopic portals were created, and the
knee was systematically examined and probed. The posterior horn
of the medial meniscus was noted to be buckled and frayed. This
area was carefully probed and found to be irreparable. It was
decided that our best option was to proceed with a limited partial
meniscectomy, with the goal being to leave as much viable meniscal
tissue as possible. Therefore, a medial infrapatellar portal was
developed with a longitudinal stab wound. A series of straight-
angled and curved basket pu - ANSWERS-A
, A 47 year-old patient was previously treated with external fixation
for a Type IIIA left lateral condyle tibial fracture. There is now
nonunion of the left proximal tibia, and he is admitted for open
reduction of tibia with bone grafting. Approximately 30 grams of
cancellous bone was harvested from the iliac crest. The fracture site
was exposed and the area of nonunion was osteotomized, cleaned
and repositioned. Intrafragmentary compression was applied with
three screws. The harvested bone graft was packed into the fracture
site. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
A) 27724-LT, S82.102C
B) 27722-LT, S82.122S
C) 27724-LT, S82.122N
D) 27722-LT, S82.102N - ANSWERS-C
How would you code a new pathological fracture of the right femur
due to postmenopausal osteoporosis?
A) M81.0
B) M80.851A
C) M80.051A
D) M84.551A - ANSWERS-C
What is the correct 7th character, in ICD-10-CM, for a healing
comminuted fracture of the right fibula, open, type 1?
A) B
B) D
