An elderly female presented with increasing pain in her left dorsal foot. The patient was brought to the operating room and placed under general anesthesia. A curvilinear incision was centered over the lesion itself. Soft tissue dissection was carried through to the ganglion. The ganglion was clearly identified as a gelatinous material. It was excised directly off the bone and sent to pathology. There was noted to be a large bony spur at the level of the head of the 1st metatarsal. Using a double action rongeur, the spur itself was removed and sequestrectomy was performed. A rasp was utilized to smooth the bone surface. The eburnated bony surface was then covered utilizing bone wax. The wound was irrigated and closed in layers. What CPT® codes are reported? a. 28111-LT, 28092-51-LT b. 28100-LT, 28092-51-LT c. 28045-LT, 28090-51-LT d. 28122-LT, 28090-51-LT

This 45-year-old male presents to the operating room with a painful mass of the right upper arm. General anesthesia was induced. Soft tissue dissection was carried through the proximal aspect of the teres minor muscle. Upon further dissection a large mass was noted just distal of the IGHL (inferior glenohumeral ligament), which appeared to be benign in nature. With blunt dissection and electrocautery, the 4 cm mass was removed en bloc and sent to pathology. The wound was irrigated, and repair of the teres minor with subcutaneous tissue was closed with triple-0 Vicryl. Skin was closed with double-0 Prolene in a subcuticular fashion. What CPT® code is reported? a. 23076-RT b. 11406-RT c. 23066-RT d. 23075-RT
