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?

The patient has right ankle fracture with distal fibular fracture. The procedure that was done is open reduction with internal fixation of the right ankle fracture as well as the distal fibular fracture. The CPT code under fracture or dislocation procedures on the leg (tibia and fibula) and ankle joint is CPT 27792.

Answer:

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.

Vladimir [108]
In the scientific method first of all is you need to identify the problem, the problem to your question is why does the dog circle its bed before lying down. Second is the observation to gather some data, you need to observe the dog if what could be the possibility the the dog may do that action. The third is the pre hypothesis, you need to came up with an idea why does the dog do such and action for example the needs to find a correct spot to make itself comfortable and lastly the hypothesis, this should answer to your question or your problem. So my hypothesis is that dogs are one of the animals that are those difficult to find a place to sleep and some of that kind of animals are cat, before they lay on their bed, they have to circle to find a spot that could fit its body to be more comfortable when the dog sleep

A 45-year-old woman named Christine is measured as having the following skinfold thicknesses on the right side of her body: Tric
TEA [102]

Answer:

The skinfold method, the measurement of subcutaneous fat folds, is the most widely adopted field method for the assessment of body fat, especially in children.

It is based on the principle that fat is of a known density and by “summing” measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness across the body, total and regional fat can be estimated.

Skinfold thickness measurements are typically used to rank individuals in terms of relative total “fatness”, or to assess subcutaneous fat at various regions of the body.

Population specific equations are used to derive estimates of percent body fat.

In infancy, it might be the sole tool available for assessing body composition longitudinally as other methods may not be feasible, or may only be suitable for use at body sizes e.g. PEA POD, can only measure infants up to 10kg.
