About 27825: Closed distal tibial fracture reduction
Closed treatment of a distal tibial fracture with manipulation to restore alignment, such as for a pilon or tibial plafond fracture.
Code 27825 covers closed reduction of a distal tibial fracture, such as a pilon or tibial plafond fracture, when the clinician manipulates the fragments to restore alignment. An orthopedic surgeon or other physician providing fracture care typically performs the reduction in an emergency department, operating room, or other acute-care setting; the fracture is stabilized afterward without opening the fracture site.
Select this code for the documented distal tibia injury and manipulation, rather than closed treatment without manipulation or open repair. The record should identify the fracture location, laterality, reduction performed, and stabilization plan. CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For same-session procedures, 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 requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
