If there is a spur on the bottom of the foot and a plantar fascial release is performed, then code 28119,Ostectomy, calcaneus; for spur, with or without plantar fascial release, would be reported instead of/in addition to 28118.
Code 28120,Partial excision (craterization, saucerization, sequestrectomy, or diaphysectomy) bone (eg, osteomyelitis or bossing); talus or calcaneus,is typically performed for an infection and not for an exostosis, and only if a partial excision of the heel is performed.

A parenthetical note under code 27640 states, “For exostosis excision, use 27635” (Excision or curettage of bone cyst or benign tumor, tibia or fibula). Can it be inferred that these codes may be used for any excision of exostosis or does the surgeon have to have docu-mented that the patient had a bone cyst or benign tumor?
