Apatient presented with a closed, displaced supracondylar fracture of the left elbow. after conscious sedation, the left upper extremity was draped and closed reduction was performed, achieving anatomical reduction of the fracture. the elbow was then prepped and with the use of fluoroscopic guidance, two k-wires were directed crossing the fracture site and piercing the medial cortex of the left distal humerus. stable reduction was obtained, with full flexion and extension. k-wires were bent and cut at a 90 degree angle. telfa padding and splint were applied. what cpt® code is reported?

The correct answer is 24538-LT.

This is a supracondylar fracture of the elbow repaired by percutaneous fixation. In the CPT index fracture/Supracondylar/Humerus/Percutaneous fixation is referred to as 24538. Modifier LT is attached to suggest the procedure is done on the left side. The application of the sphint or the first cast is included in the fracture codes.

the way that the mass of carbon can be conserved through cellular respiration is through a process/law called the law of conservation of mass which even tho it undergoes a process, mass is not be destroyed or changed

answer: after carbon dioxide enters the leaf through stomata it moves into the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis occurs and glucose is constructed. respiration occurs when glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to produce useable cellular energy.
