re: CPT® for excision of tibial ossicle I would go with 27360, as this is for the knee region. The code you quoted is for the ankle region. 0 Votes - Sign in to vote or reply.
Sometimes at the end of the disease these patients may have an ossicle or bone fragment (s) left at the tibial tubercle that did not "heal" back to the rest of the tubercle. They can be superficially placed on/at the front of the tubercle, or sometimes located/hidden deep to and behind the lower/distal end of the Patellar Tendon.

The tibial tuberosity thus forms the terminal part of the large structure that acts as a lever to extend the knee-joint and prevents the knee from collapsing when the foot strikes the ground. The two ligaments, the patella, and the tibial tuberosity are all superficial, easily palpable structures.

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition that causes pain and swelling below the knee joint, where the patellar tendon attaches to the top of the shinbone (tibia), a spot called the tibial tuberosity. There may also be inflammation of the patellar tendon, which stretches over the kneecap.
The ossicle is generally small and locates near the tibial tubercle and beneath the patella tendon. Therefore, activity-related pain focused on the tibial tubercle and distal patellar tendon is a common complaint of OSD patients [5]. However, rarely a large ossicle may protrude into the knee joint [6, 7].
The tibial tubercle is the secondary ossification center of the proximal tibia. The primary ossification center is the tibial epiphysis, and the tibial tubercle extends distally from the anterior aspect of the proximal epiphysis and serves as the point of attachment of the patellar tendon.

When joint space narrowing occurs, the cartilage no longer keeps the bones a normal distance apart. This can be painful as the bones rub or put too much pressure on each other. Joint space narrowing can also be a result of conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The condition is named after Robert Bayley Osgood (1873–1956), an American orthopedic surgeon, and Carl B. Schlatter (1864–1934), a Swiss surgeon, who described the condition independently in 1903.
Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition characterized by a painful inflammation (bony knob or spur) located under your kneecap (patella). The cause of Osgood Schlatters is irritation on your growth plate (tibial tuberosity), where your patellar tendon attaches to your shinbone (tibia).
After three to four months, bone fragmentation at the tibial tuberosity is viewed. In the sub-acute stage, soft tissue swelling resolves, but the bony ossicle remains. In the chronic stage, the bone fragment may fuse with the tibial tuberosity which can appear normal.
A bump can form at the tibial tuberosity because the separated growth plates keep growing and expanding. The area between the bone fragments fills in with new tissue, either cartilage or bone. The new tissue causes the tibial tuberosity to become enlarged and painful.
Conservative treatment includes modifying physical activities, using ice packs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), braces, and pads. Symptoms usually resolve after the closure of the physis without any treatment, but symptoms may remain in some cases.
The growth plate of the tibial tuberosity does not develop until several months after birth and is structurally different than most growth plates that are loaded primarily in compression. Histologically, it is particularly different from the juxtaposed proximal tibial growth plate.
The patellar tendon attaches to the tibial tubercle on the front of the tibia (shin bone) just below the front of the knee.
Fragmentation is directly leading to fracture, so we cannot take traumatic fracture code in this situation. Even though Osgood condition not affecting knee joint directly, we can use 716.86 (otherspecified disorders of lower leg joint) for fragmention of tibia with history of osgood schlatter. Regards,
Yes. If the reason for visit is primarily for Osgood Schlatter or fragmentation of tibia, we should use 732.4. No doubt on this. If nothing stated about treatment plan for Osgood Schlatter or it is given only 'history of ' then we can use V13.59 (personal history of other musculoskeletal condition). Fragmentation is directly leading ...
