Apatient presented with a right ankle fracture. after induction of general anesthesia, the right leg was elevated and draped in the usual manner for surgery. a longitudinal incision was made parallel and posterior to the fibula. it was curved anteriorly to its distal end. the skin flap was developed and retracted anteriorly. the distal fibula fracture was then reduced and held with reduction forceps. a lag screw was inserted from anterior to posterior across the fracture. a 5-hole 1/3 tubular plate was then applied to the lateral contours of the fibula with cortical and cancellous bone screws. final radiographs showed restoration of the fibula. the wound was irrigated and closed with suture and staples on the skin. sterile dressing was applied followed by a posterior splint. what cpt® code is reported?

27792-RT

Explanation:

A patient presented with a right ankle fracture. after induction of general anesthesia, the right leg was elevated and draped in the usual manner for surgery. a longitudinal incision was made parallel and posterior to the fibula. it was curved anteriorly to its distal end. the skin flap was developed and retracted anteriorly. the distal fibula fracture was then reduced and held with reduction forceps. a lag screw was inserted from anterior to posterior across the fracture. a 5-hole 1/3 tubular plate was then applied to the lateral contours of the fibula with cortical and cancellous bone screws. final radiographs showed restoration of the fibula. the wound was irrigated and closed with suture and staples on the skin. sterile dressing was applied followed by a posterior splint. what cpt® code is reported?

if the patient has fraction in the right fibula the , the right medical procedure to treat this condition can be found in the code index 27792-RT. it deals with fibula/open treatment/fraction.

nonconformity

answer: the unkar group shows angular unconformity because the layers are turned at angle.

unconformity

answer: specifically the angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled. an angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled.

disconformity

answer: the disconformities aremarked irregular lines between the sedimentaryrocks layers.
