Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with chronic shoulder pain and progressive loss of range of motion due to a calcified, inflamed subacromial bursa unresponsive to repeated conservative measures (physical therapy, corticosteroid injections) is admitted for definitive surgical management; the procedure involves complete excision of the right shoulder bursa to relieve impingement and pain, performed via an open approach because of extensive scarring and calcification. Typical codes: 0MT10ZZ
A middle-aged athlete presents with persistent shoulder instability and recurrent ligamentous impingement after multiple prior nonoperative treatments; during a planned inpatient minimally invasive procedure, the surgeon performs complete resection of the pathological right shoulder ligament tissue using a percutaneous endoscopic approach to remove the irreparably damaged ligament and reduce recurrent mechanical symptoms. Typical codes: 0MT14ZZ
A patient is admitted urgently for septic bursitis of the right shoulder with frank purulence and failed bedside drainage; after initial debridement and antibiotics, the surgical team proceeds to resect the entire infected right shoulder bursa via an open approach to control infection and prevent recurrent abscess formation. Typical codes: 0MT10ZZ
