               A 72-yeаr-оld femаle sustаined a left radius fracture, resulting in vоlar angulatiоn, radial shortening and loss of radioulnar inclination. A general anesthetic was administered. A standard dorsal central approach to the wrist was made. The capsule was opened in a T fashion and the malunion site was identified. A series of osteotomes was utilized to open the fracture site and the normal distal radial architecture was restored. The pie-plate was placed on the distal radius utilizing a combination of 2.0 and 1.8 screws and threaded pins for the distal segment and 2.7 screws proximally. Fragments were secured, and Norian SRS was packed into the defect and allowed to harden. With this completed, the wounds were copiously irrigated with normal saline. Soft tissue was closed over the plate and distal radius and secured with 2-0 Vicryl. What CPT® code is reported?
