Full Answer
For the bicep and triceps repairs, I would use 24342 (Reinsertion of ruptured biceps or triceps tendon, distal, with or without tendon graft). For the forearm muscle repairs, I would use 27270 with modifiers 59 and 51.

CPT code 24342 is defined as “Reinsertion of ruptured biceps or triceps tendon, distal, with or without tendon graft.”
829.
A distal biceps rupture occurs when the tendon attaching the biceps muscle to the elbow is torn from the bone. This injury occurs mainly in middle-aged men during heavy work or lifting. A distal biceps rupture is rare compared to ruptures where the top of the biceps connects at the shoulder.
The CPT codes 23405–Tenotomy biceps tendon, 23430–Open tenodesis of long tendon of biceps (LTB), and 29828–Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis were used to represent the patient population.
What is the biceps tenodesis procedure? The biceps tenodesis procedure treats shoulder and biceps muscle pain and weakness that happens when you tear your long head biceps tendon. This tendon is located at the top of your bicep muscle. It's connected to your labrum, which is cartilage that lines your shoulder socket.
Revision biceps tenodesis was defined as patients undergoing subsequent ipsilateral arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (CPT 29828) or subsequent ipsilateral open biceps tenodesis (CPT 23430) after the index procedure.
If you are having a tenotomy, your biceps tendon is cut at its base by the top of your shoulder socket and the tendon is allowed to retract out of the joint. In about half of patients they will notice the contour of their biceps muscle changes (this is called a Popeye sign). Performing a tenotomy is safe and effective.
ICD-10 code M75. 121 for Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
A Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior (SLAP) tear is an injury to the labrum of the shoulder, which is the ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint. The term SLAP stands for Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior. In a SLAP injury, the top (superior) part of the labrum is injured.
The physician documents the injury diagnosis as a rotator cuff (supraspinatus) tear of the right shoulder. The physician, in the electronic medical record (EMR) appropriately selects ICD-10 code S46. 011A.

The doctor coded cpt 25270 3 x's, I am not sure if this is correct#N#Op report states atient has a disruption of the biceps, triceps and mobile wad due to degloving injury.#N#"the decision was made to repair the triceps disruption with an interrupted and running 3-0 chromic suture. The length of the triceps muscle was then reapproximated with insertion above the olecranon process. in addition, lateral aspect of the triceps was also repaires and brought to the midline in a similar fashion at the medial aspect of the muscle belly. this constituted a 2-muscle repair of the triceps. Next the distal end of the biceps muscle was then tagged with o prolene suture. On the Volar aspect of the forearm, the extensoe mechanisms were also repaired and reapproximated after debridement of the ischemic muscle.#N#This muscle was reapproximated with interrupted 3-0 chromin suture . the muscle was most likely extensor carpi brevis, extensor digitorum muscle as well."
