What is a HAGL lesion?

Humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) has been shown to be an infrequent cause of shoulder instability. This lesion occurs when the inferior glenohumeral ligament avulses from the inferior humeral neck. This is in contrast to the Bankart lesion in which the IGHL is disrupted from the glenoid.

What is the CPT code for HAGL?

Thanks. The HAGL is one of the four ligaments that make up the capsule, so I would code as 29806. This is the first time that I have seen this. Thanks. You must log in or register to reply here.

How is appropriate code selection for lesion removal determined?

According to the 2016 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Manual, appropriate code selection for lesion removal is determined by measuring the greatest clinical diameter of the apparent lesion plus that margin required for complete excision. Please refer to the current CPT manual for further information.

What is an HAGL lesion?

Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament (HAGL) is an injury to the inferior glenohumeral ligament causing instability and/or pain and a missed cause of recurrent shoulder instability.

How do you get a HAGL lesion?

Cadaver studies indicate that under tension, the inferior glenohumeral ligament fails at the glenoid 40% of the time, creating the well-known Bankart lesion. The IGL fails at the mid-ligament 35% of the time, and at its humeral attachment 25% of the time,5 the latter resulting in the HAGL lesion.

Does HAGL lesion require surgery?

Although uncommon, HAGL lesions are a significant contributor to shoulder pain and dysfunction and, if missed, can even be a cause of failed Bankart repair. HAGL lesions should generally be repaired surgically; however, given their low prevalence, there is no consensus on the optimal surgical approach.

What is a shoulder avulsion?

Humeral avulsion (pulling off) of the glenohumeral ligaments (HAGL) in the shoulder occurs in patients when they dislocate their shoulder. People who sustain a HAGL injury often have recurrent shoulder dislocations, subluxations or instability symptoms that affect their daily activities, work, sports or recreation.

What is a reverse HAGL?

Although the typical anterior HAGL lesion is more common, posterior injuries do occur. These are referred to as reverse or posterior HAGL (PHAGL) lesions and involve an avulsion of the posterior band of the IGHL from the humeral neck. While rare, these lesions have been shown to contribute to recurrent instability.

How do you fix a HAGL lesion?

HAGL lesions can be repaired with open or arthroscopic techniques. Both are safe, reproducible, and effective at re-establishing the inferior glenohumeral ligament complex. In addition to typical patients with anterior instability symptoms, this lesion should be evaluated and treated in overhead athletes.

What is a glad lesion in shoulder?

Abstract. A GLAD (glenolabral articular disruption) lesion is caused by a forced adduction injury to the shoulder from an abducted and external rotated position; patients with GLAD lesions present with anterior shoulder pain as their chief complaint.

What is a superior glenoid labrum lesion of left shoulder?

A SLAP lesion (superior labrum, anterior [front] to posterior [back]) is a tear of the rim above the middle of the socket that may also involve the biceps tendon. A tear of the rim below the middle of the glenoid socket that also involves the inferior glenohumeral ligament is called a Bankart lesion.

What is a Hill-Sachs defect?

A Hill-Sachs lesion is a fracture in the long bone in the upper arm (humerus) that connects to the body at the shoulder. You doctor might have discovered this condition if you've experienced a dislocated shoulder. In this case, the arm bone slips out of the socket and is compressed against the socket's rim.

What does avulsion mean?

a forcible separation or detachmentDefinition of avulsion : a forcible separation or detachment: such as. a : a tearing away of a body part accidentally or surgically. b : a sudden cutting off of land by flood, currents, or change in course of a body of water especially : one separating land from one person's property and joining it to another's.

What is a pasta lesion?

A PASTA lesion may result suddenly from a single traumatic event or may develop gradually. The lesion is a detachment of the front of the supraspinatus tendon from its attachment inside the joint. The majority of the tendon is still intact and attached properly.

What is Subscap?

The subscapularis is the largest, strongest muscle of the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff muscles are important in shoulder movement and help maintain glenohumeral joint stability. The subscapularis muscle lies at the anterior surface of the scapula.

What is a bill and coding article?

Billing and Coding articles provide guidance for the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and assist providers in submitting correct claims for payment. Billing and Coding articles typically include CPT/HCPCS procedure codes, ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, as well as Bill Type, Revenue, and CPT/HCPCS Modifier codes. The code lists in the article help explain which services (procedures) the related LCD applies to, the diagnosis codes for which the service is covered, or for which the service is not considered reasonable and necessary and therefore not covered.

Can CPT/HCPCS be billed with all billing codes?

Note: The contractor has identified the Bill Type and Revenue Codes applicable for use with the CPT/HCPCS codes included in this LCD. Providers are reminded that not all CPT/HCPCS codes listed can be billed with all Bill Type and/or Revenue Codes listed. CPT/HCPCS codes are required to be billed with specific Bill Type and Revenue Codes. Providers are encouraged to refer to the CMS Internet-Only Manual (IOM) Pub. 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, for further guidance.
