Orthopedic surgery
About 27258: Open hip reduction with femoral shortening
Reports open treatment of a hip dislocation that includes femoral shortening, typically during reconstructive surgery for a persistently displaced hip.
An orthopedic surgeon uses this code for open reduction of a dislocated hip when femoral shortening is part of the operation. This approach is commonly used in pediatric hip reconstruction when the femur must be shortened to permit a stable reduction without excessive tension. The service is performed in an operating room; internal fixation may be used as part of the procedure.
Select the code from the operative report’s description of the open treatment and femoral shortening, rather than from the diagnosis alone. Documentation should identify the dislocation, the reduction approach, and the shortening performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.

27258 billing questions
When should 27258 be selected instead of another open hip-dislocation code?
Use 27258 when the open treatment includes femoral shortening. Other codes in the open-treatment family distinguish procedures by the osteotomy or additional work performed.
Is internal fixation separately reported with 27258?
Internal fixation may be used as part of the coded procedure. The operative report should show the femoral shortening and open treatment; do not treat fixation alone as the defining service.
How does 27258 differ from closed treatment under anesthesia?
27258 describes open treatment with femoral shortening. A closed reduction performed under anesthesia is represented by a closed-treatment code, such as 27252, when its requirements are met.
What documentation supports reporting 27258?
Document the hip dislocation, the open reduction, and the femoral shortening performed. The operative report should make clear why shortening was part of the reconstruction.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the CMS multiple-procedure rule, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team-surgery payment is not permitted for this code.
