CPT Code 27235: Open Treatment of Closed Anterior Hip Dislocation Without Fixation

CPT 27235 describes the open surgical treatment of a closed traumatic anterior hip dislocation where no internal fixation is performed. The procedure involves surgical exposure and reduction of the femoral head into the acetabulum without the use of plates, screws, or other hardware.

This code is used for billing and documentation when the dislocation is reduced openly but the joint is stable enough to not require fixation.
