CPT® Code 28345

Syndactyly is a congenital condition characterized by the fusion of two or more toes in the foot. This condition can manifest in two primary forms: simple and complex syndactyly. Simple syndactyly involves only the soft tissues connecting the toes, while complex syndactyly includes additional involvement of bone, cartilage, or nails. The surgical procedure described by CPT® Code 28345 addresses the reconstruction of the toes affected by syndactyly, which may involve the use of skin grafts. The goal of the procedure is to separate the conjoined toes, restore normal anatomy, and ensure proper function and appearance. The surgical approach includes careful dissection of the soft tissues, preservation of blood supply, and, when necessary, the application of skin grafts to achieve optimal closure of the incisions. This procedure is essential for improving the quality of life for individuals with syndactyly, allowing for better mobility and foot function.
