About 23680: Open treatment of shoulder dislocation with surgical neck fracture

Open operative treatment of a shoulder dislocation accompanied by a humeral surgical-neck fracture, including fixation when performed.

Code 23680 describes operative management of a shoulder whose humeral head is dislocated and whose humerus is fractured through the surgical neck. The surgeon exposes the injury, restores joint alignment, and treats the associated fracture; internal fixation is included when performed. Orthopedic surgeons typically perform this combined procedure in an operating room for traumatic fracture-dislocations requiring open treatment rather than closed reduction alone.

Report the code when the operative record supports both the shoulder dislocation and surgical-neck fracture and documents open treatment; identify the fracture location and work performed. The code includes fixation when performed, so do not separately report the same operative work as an unrelated dislocation or fracture procedure. Its 90-day global period includes the day before surgery and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures 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-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

23680 billing questions

How does 23680 differ from 23675?

Use 23680 for open treatment of the shoulder dislocation with a surgical-neck fracture. Code 23675 describes closed treatment with manipulation.

Is fracture fixation included in 23680?

Yes. Internal fixation is included when performed as part of the open treatment, so do not separately report the same fixation work.

Can modifier 50 be reported for bilateral treatment?

The CMS rule identifies this as a bilateral procedure; when reported bilaterally with modifier 50, payment is 150%.

What documentation supports reporting 23680?

Document the shoulder dislocation, the humeral fracture at the surgical neck, and the open treatment performed. The operative report should make clear that both injuries were treated.

How are assistant and co-surgeon claims handled?

An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation.
