CPT 28297. This code describes the Lapidus type bunionectomy, which involves fusion at the first metatarsocuneiform joint. This procedure code also covers soft tissue joint work at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, including resection of the medial eminence.
A tailor's bunion is a swollen bump on the outside of your little toe. The bump might start out small but grow larger with time. It can also be red and painful. The bunion may get more swollen and painful when it rubs against your shoe.
Hallux valgus deformity is a very common pathological condition which commonly produces painful disability. It is characterised as a combined deformity with a malpositioning of the first metatarsophalangeal joint caused by a lateral deviation of the great toe and a medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone.
1: Hallux valgus surgery corrects a misalignment of the big toe. Usually the bone in the big toe is corrected in conjunction with the correction of the soft tissue of the joint capsule of the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Hallux valgus interphalangeus is a deformity of the big toe characterised by an abnormal (valgus) angulation between the two bones (proximal and distal phalanx) forming the end of the big toe. It is considered present if the two end bones (proximal and distal phalanx) forms an angle exceeding 10 degrees.
Same Procedures, New Codes While codes 28290, 28293 and 28294 were deleted, the procedures formerly falling under these codes were not. For Silver procedures formerly reported with 28290, now use 28292. For procedures involving implants inserted at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, use code 28291 instead of 28293.
The description is “bunionectomy with proximal metatarsal osteotomy.” Code CPT 28289 has been modified to specify “hallux rigidus repair without implant.”
This would be appropriately coded using CPT code 28299 which is defined as: Correction, hallux valgus [bunionectomy], with sesamoidectomy, when performed, with double osteotomy, any method. Since it was performed on the right foot, it would be correctly appended by the RT modifier.

The CPT code to bill for an osteotomy with a bunionette is 28308 (Osteotomy, with or without lengthening, shortening or angular correction, metatarsal; other than first metatarsal, each). This procedure includes both an osteotomy procedure and the removal of the bunionette.
