CPT® Code 28341

Macrodactyly of the toe refers to a condition characterized by an abnormal enlargement of one or more toes due to an overgrowth of bone and associated soft tissues, which include nerves, fat, and skin. This condition results in a digit that is significantly larger than normal, potentially leading to functional and aesthetic concerns. The surgical procedure coded as CPT® 28341 involves reconstructive surgery aimed at reducing the size of the affected toe. This is achieved through a process known as bone resection, which entails the removal of a portion of the bone to shorten the digit. The procedure may also involve debulking the surrounding soft tissue to enhance the overall appearance and function of the toe. The surgical approach typically includes excising one of the phalanges or the metatarsal bone, and it may be performed in stages depending on the severity of the macrodactyly. The goal of this intervention is to restore a more normal appearance and improve the functionality of the toe, thereby addressing both the physical and psychological impacts of the condition.
