What 24361 covers

This operation reconstructs the elbow by replacing the distal end of the humerus with a prosthetic component. An orthopedic surgeon typically performs it in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting when the planned reconstruction calls for distal humeral prosthetic replacement. The operative report should make clear which part of the joint was reconstructed and that the distal humerus was replaced with a prosthesis.

Select this code based on the documented procedure, not simply the diagnosis or presence of an implant. Distinguish it from interposition arthroplasty, other implant-and-graft techniques, and total elbow replacement. It has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
