About 28605: Closed tarsometatarsal dislocation reduction

Report this service for closed reduction of a tarsometatarsal joint dislocation when the clinician manipulates the joint to restore alignment.

This service is a closed reduction of a dislocated tarsometatarsal joint, including the Lisfranc joint complex, using manipulation to restore alignment without open surgical exposure. Orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists commonly perform it for traumatic midfoot dislocations in an emergency department, operating room, or other facility setting. The treatment may be followed by immobilization, such as a splint or cast, as clinically indicated.

Documentation should identify the affected joint, the dislocation, and the manipulation performed to reduce it; distinguish the service from reduction without manipulation or treatment involving percutaneous fixation. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
