CPT Knowledgebase - Nov 25, 2019

What is the appropriate code to report for an arthroscopic hip labral reconstruction procedure? In this case, the labrum is being reconstructed with the use of grafting material, typically an autograft of the iliotibial band, and then being secured to the acetabulum and native labrum. This recreates the acetabular labral seal and is distinctly different from a labral repair, which is performed to repair the torn tissue by sewing (anchoring) it together and/or to its attachment site.
