A trapeziectomy is the removal of a small bone at the base of the thumb so I'd look at either code 25445 or 25447 (depending on the actual op note from the doc). The trapezium is a carpal bone which would make the procedure a carpectomy which is code 25210. You must log in or register to reply here.

ICD-10 code M19. 04 for Primary osteoarthritis, hand is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
Trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) with the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon is one of the most common procedures for the treatment of trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. We modified the LRTI, using the palmaris longus (PL) tendon instead of the FCR tendon.
(a) Trapeziectomy This is the most common form of surgery and involves a complete removal of the trapezium. Some surgeons fill the gap left by the removed bone using a piece of tendon from your wrist. To fill the space left, you may be given an artificial metal and plastic joint, or a silicone rubber spacer.

The thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, a biconcave-convex saddle joint, consists of the articulation between the first metacarpal of the thumb and the trapezium carpal bone. Other significant articulations of the trapezial bone are the scaphoid and trapezoid carpal bones and the second metacarpal bone.

In use for more than 40 years, LRTI is the most commonly performed surgery for thumb arthritis. The damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with a cushion of tissue that keeps the bones separated. To accomplish this, surgeons remove all or part of the trapezium bone in the wrist at the base of the thumb.
At the base of the thumb is a small bone called the trapezium which, together with the metacarpal bone above, forms a joint called the carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ). Removal of the trapezium bone can reduce the pain and allow easier use of the thumb.
Most people get complete pain relief from LRTI, but recovery time is long and sometimes painful. Also, there can be significant complications from the removal of the trapezium bone.
A trapeziectomy is excellent at removing the pain of the arthritis, and with a reduction in pain, you will notice an increase in grip and pinch strength and overall function. However, the recovery from this procedure is slow. It takes most patients 4-6 months to return to all their normal activities.
That process can take up to three months, but many patients achieve full range of motion within six weeks, if not sooner. At that point, you are safe to return to your favorite activities. You can expect to regain full strength in your thumb six months after your motion has returned.
