Introduction
This course builds the foundational knowledge and skills for success when reporting procedures on the musculoskeletal system of the body. Join us as we review musculoskeletal anatomy and a walk-through of the structure of the musculoskeletal subsection of CPT. This course is recommended before taking either the Procedure Coding for Orthopedic Surgery: Upper Limbs or Procedure Coding for Orthopedic Surgery: Lower Limbs courses.

Lesson 1: Orthopedic Anatomy and Directional Terms
- Label the structures of a joint
- Differentiate between ligaments and tendons
- Differentiate between distal and proximal
L2 Structure of the CPT Musculoskeletal Subsection
