Closed Reduction Finger Cpt Code

Phalangeal Injuries: Closed Rx CPT Codes

Phalangeal Dislocations CPT Codes

CPT code 26755: “Closed treatment of distal phalangeal fracture, finger or

thumb; with manipulation, each” for guidance. If you bill the code twice, you should attach modifier -59 to the second code. Also specify the finger with modifiers F1 through FA: F1: “Left hand, second digit” F2: “Left hand, third digit”

As in all of the CPT surgical codes, use of an unmodified 28510 ("Closed tre

atment of fracture, phalanx or phalanges, other than great toe, without manipulation"), indicates that the physician is providing restorative care and any subsequent patient care usual to the management of this condition.

ANSWER: From the notes you provided, I would agree that it would be correct

to report CPT code 26605 for this procedure. In addition, I would report CPT code 26608 (Percutaneous skeletal fixation of metacarpal fracture, each bone) because the physician performed percutaneous fixation as well.

As the coding and documentation for closed treatment of fractures is nuanced

and complex, most orthopedic practices and EDs rely on medical coding outsourcing to meet their requirements. All closed fracture treatment, without manipulation is considered “major surgery” by Federal and AMA coding systems, and is reported as surgery when billed.

Closed reduction with manipulation is performed and a cast applied. Coders s

hould report the CPT code for closed treatment of the fracture only, because cast application is integral to any definitive fracture treatment. The physician may report supplies with the appropriate Q codes.

Holding the arm using finger traps as illustrated allows easy manipulation,

reduction, imaging, and mobilization for a surgeon working without an assistant. To avoid damage to the skin of the fingers ensure that the pressure is evenly distributed, and that prolonged or excessive force is avoided.

A pin is placed through the tip of the affected finger for finger fractures,

or in the back of the affected hand for metacarpal fractures. In some instances, when bones can be easily manipulated to correct alignment, Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation may be done and no incision will be made in affected finger/hand.

An alternative approach to reduction of flexion injuries is to flex the elbo

w to 90 degrees and use the olecranon as a handle for the distal fragment. With one hand on the forearm shaft and one on the humeral shaft, all required translations and rotations can be gently applied to achieve a closed reduction.

He was evaluated and noted to have a proximal phalanx fracture that was just

proximal to the condyle. The fracture was slightly displaced, and the finger was slightly angulated and rotated. Recommendation for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of the fracture was offered to the patient for optimizing healing and final outcome.
