All of the new and revised bunionectomy codes now read “sesamoidectomy, when performed,” instead of “with or without.” Instead of using the legacy names, the procedures are defined as “any method,” making it more clear that the coding is based on the location on the bone, as well as whether the correction was done using an osteotomy or fusion.
CPT® code 28297 reports a bunion correction with a joint fusion between the foot bone located behind the big toe (first metatarsal) and the bone of the middle foot located behind the first metatarsal.
(CPT code 28292 – describes the correction of a hallux valgus deformity, and includes sesamoid bone removal or a proximal phalanx base resection, when necessary. The sesamoid bone removal, or removal of part of the articulating end of the bone (closest to where it attaches), realigns the toe with the metatarsal at the metatarsophalangeal joint.
CPT 28292. This code describes the classic Keller bunionectomy as well as the McBride bunionectomy.

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.
A bunion (hallux valgus) is an enlargement of the bone or tissue around a joint at the base of the big toe or at the base of the little toe. This one is called a "bunionette" or "tailor's bunion." Bunions often form when the joint is stressed over a prolonged period.
The Lapidus Bunionectomy Procedure This procedure is used to correct a bunion, a bony bump at the base of the great toe caused by excess bone growth and misalignment of the bones of the foot and toe. This procedure removes the bump and brings the toe back into proper alignment.
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.
Hallux valgus is the most common deformity of the forefoot and the toes. 23% of 18-65 year olds and over 35% of those over 65 years have hallux valgus. Due to the noticeable form it's also referred to as a bunion or ganglion. Here the big toe moves out of its alignment and points toward the outside edge of the foot.

28291 Hallux rigidus correction with cheilectomy, debrid ement and capsular release of the first metatarsophalangeal joint ; with implant#N#CPT® code 28291 was added to report hallux rigidus (bunion) correction with implant; and revised code 28289 Hallux rigidus correction with cheilectomy, debridement and capsular release of the first metatarsophalangeal joint; without implant, which describes the correction of arthritis and deformity of the joint where the head of the metatarsal bone attaches to the first bone of the greater toe, now specifies the procedure was done without an implant. Prior to 2017, code 28293 reported placement of an implant for correction of hallux valgus. Because a prosthetic implant is placed for arthritis of a joint, the descriptor for 28289 is more consistent with the condition being treated (in this instance, “implant” does not mean a screw, or plate and screw, but a prosthetic implant).#N#28295 Correction, hallux valgus (bunionectomy), with sesamoidectomy, when performed; with proximal metatarsal osteotomy, any method#N#CPT® code 28295 describes bunion correction when a proximal metatarsal osteotomy is necessary and includes sesamoidectomy, when performed. An osteotomy may be performed when there is moderate metatarsus primus varus (deviation of the first metatarsal away from the other metatarsals) and the intermetatarsal angle is greater than 40 degrees. The osteotomy is performed at the base of metatarsal or, for a long continuous osteotomy, it may start in the metatarsal neck and extend through the shaft to the base of the metatarsal.
Because a prosthetic implant is placed for arthritis of a joint, the descriptor for 28289 is more consistent with the condition being treated (in this instance, “implant” does not mean a screw, or plate and screw, but a prosthetic implant).
