Medial Patellafemoral Ligament Reconstruction
My ortho doctor is starting to perform this procedure for knee instability. Could anyone give me any ideas as to what CPT code to use? I am leaning toward an unlisted code, but want to know if anyone has a better one.
Thank you.

Thank you for your response
How do I decide what code to use? What's the difference between them?
