Oh my goodness! Bunions can hurt, can't they?! Well, did you know that there are over a half-dozen types of surgical bunion repair procedures! Here are a few names of the various procedures: Hallux Valgus Correction, Keller-Type Procedure, Joplin Procedure, Keller-Mayo Procedure with Implant, Mitchell Procedure, Ladidus-Type Procedure, and Phalanx Osteotomy.
With the Hallux Vagus Correction, the outer-most bone part on the third bone is removed. You can find a billing code, such as 28290, in your health insurance documents (EOB), as well as your medical records, which would indicate whether this type of surgery was performed on you.
On the other hand, the Keller-Mayo Procedure with Implant is a type of surgical repair where the second and third bone parts are realigned and an artificial bone part is placed between the two of them. You can find a billing code, such as 28293, in your health insurance documents (EOB), as well as your medical records, which would indicate whether this particular surgical procedure was performed on you.
