Chapter 12. Injuries to the Extremities. The extremities consist of—. Bones.. Soft tissue.. Blood vessels.. Nerves.. Signals of an injury. Pain or tenderness.. Swelling.. Discoloration.. Deformity of the limb.. humerus. and carpals. Skeleton of the Hand. The carpus (wrist) consists of 8 small bones (carpals). Two rows of carpal bones. Proximal row - scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform.

Other than the AMA CPT® Professional Edition codebook, this is the only book in the market with verbatim CPT®-panel–approved guidelines and parenthetical information specific to lower extremity orthopedics.This is the ideal daily companion featuring useful, definitive specialty-specific coding information beyond what is provided in a full procedural codebook.Lower extremity orthopedics coding and billing knowledge available in a single volume, conveniently superseding the need for multiple resources or years of experience.FEATURES AND BENEFITSA subset of specialty-specific CPT® codes chosen by experts based on utilization, denial risk and complexity   Official AMA coding guidelines pertinent to the specialty and not available in any other specialty codebooks in the marketOfficial code-specific CPT® parenthetical instructionsPlain English descriptors that clarify for the reader the details of the service represented by the CPT® codeCPT® Assistant citationsProcedural illustrationsCrosswalks from CPT® to ICD-10-CMNational Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits to identify bundled and separately billable codesCMS Pub 100 billing guidance citationsFacility and non-facility relative value units (RVUs) including global surgery days, physician work and practice, malpractice and total expenses as well as those modifiers that can affect relative valuesAdditional chapters on terminology and anatomy, HCPCS codes, CPT® modifiers and ICD-10-CM coding and documentation practicesAppendixes offering clinical documentation checklists and evaluation and management (E/M) guidelines The most outstanding feature of Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics is the demonstration of the practicality of biomechanics, when applied to lower limb prosthetics. Several original concepts are described, one of which, rolling technology, has been implemented in prosthetic devices, while the principle of reciprocal anti-resonance in locomotion addresses future studies. A concept of anthropomorphicity presented by the author is a key tool in planning the design of an artificial limb or its components.Measurement procedures and equipment used in biomechanical laboratories are presented. The book demonstrates how the analysis of biomechanical data is a tool in the decision-making process of a prosthetic designer and clinician. The author shares his experience in the development of a protocol for biomechanics subject trials used in NIH-supported studies. Optimized for medical necessity and reimbursement understanding, this all-in-one resource focuses on the most important CPT®  and HCPCS codes for lower extremity orthopedics, plus medicine and ancillary services codes chosen by experts who have taken into consideration utilization, denial risk and complexity. CPT® Coding Essentials optimizes both CPT® and ICD-10 code selection with helpful CPT® -to-ICD-10-CM crosswalks and detailed explanations of anatomy, physiology and documentation. In addition, for the first time in the same volume, verbatim guidelines and parenthetical information from the CPT® codebook specific to lower extremity orthopedics CPT® codes can be found. This is the ideal daily companion featuring useful, definitive specialty-specific coding information beyond what is provided in a full procedural code book. Orthopedic coding and billing knowledge that otherwise might take years of experience or multiple resources to accumulate is available in a single volume.Features and BenefitsA subset of specialty-specific CPT® codes chosen by experts who take into consideration utilization, denial risk and complexityOfficial AMA coding guidelines pertinent to the specialty and not available in any competitor’s specialty codebooksOfficial code-specific CPT® parenthetical instructionsPlain English descriptors that clarify for the reader the details of the service represented by the CPT® codeCPT® Assistant citationsProcedural illustrationsCrosswalks from CPT® to ICD-10-CMNational Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits to identify bundled and separately billable codesCMS Pub 100 billing guidance citationsFacility and non-facility relative value units (RVUs) including global surgery days, physician work and practice, malpractice and total expenses as well as those modifiers that can affect relative valuesAdditional chapters on terminology and anatomy, HCPCS codes, CPT® modifiers and ICD-10-CM coding and documentation practicesAppendixes offering clinical documentation checklists and evaluation and management (E/M) guidelines Volume 1 provided a thorough understanding of what myofascial pain actually is, and discussed the approach to effective diagnosis and treatment of the syndrome from the waist up. This second volume offers the same effective approach for the lower body muscles. It includes features and reviews of special topics not discussed in other literature. These include an extensive review of the causes of functional scoliosis, and how to identify them clinically a review of the lower limb length inequality that details radiographic techniques for for accurate measurement how to examine intrapelvic muscles for trigger points a topographical guide that simplifies distinguishing the three gluteal muscles and the piriformis muscle when palpating trigger points the muscular origin of pain in sciatic, gluteal and perineal distributions and an examination of the complexity of adductor longus muscle which helps explain why its importance is easily overlooked.
