Knee revision surgery, which is also known as revision total knee arthroplasty, is a procedure in which the surgeon removes a previously implanted artificial knee joint, or prosthesis, and replaces it with a new prosthesis. Look at code 27487 and compare with documentation.

What is the CPT® code for a spacer change for a total knee?

Spacer Change for a Total Knee

Thanks for your inquiry, however it is not acceptable to recommend a CPT® code without the complete detail of the operative procedure. The code will be based on the work provided.

Guidance for these type of questions can be obtained by attending the official Orthopaedic ,AAOS Sponsored Coding and Reimbursement Courses presented throughout the year.

We assume you agree that the question is vague and the recommendations will be based on the documentation and thus any code recommended without the operative note would be against all CPT® coding rules. Visit www.karenzupko.com for more assistance.
