An elderly femаle presented with increаsing pаin in her left dоrsal fооt. The patient was brought to the operating room and placed under general anesthesia. A curvilinear incision was centered over the lesion itself. Soft tissue dissection was carried through to the ganglion. The ganglion was clearly identified as a gelatinous material. It was excised directly off the bone and sent to pathology. There was noted to be a large bony spur at the level of the head of the 1st metatarsal. Using a double action rongeur, the spur itself was removed and sequestrectomy was performed. A rasp was utilized to smooth the bone surface. The eburnated bony surface was then covered utilizing bone wax. The wound was irrigated and closed in layers. What CPT® codes are reported?
