Includes:

  • arthrolysis joint procedures
  • exostectomy, also known as bunionectomy, or surgical removal (debridement) of bony prominence or outgrowth

Non-standard CCI code

This is a non-standard CCI Procedure. Added an "d" for debridement to distinguish from the other "87" code Excision, Resection; debridement would have usually been part of that code, but to allow it to be collected in CCI Collection Mode "CCI collect first" it needed to be a separate code.
