CPT code
Our orthopedic surgeon performed a bone graft to the ankle on our patient. There was severe bone loss at both the medial and lateral malleolus. He obtained the bone graft from the bone bank.
We are coding 27822 for the open reduction and internal fixation. What code do we use for the bone grafting we obtained from the bone bank?

An allograft is only allowed with spine surgery. Do not code separately
