Objectives:
- Identify the root operation for spinal fusion for scoliosis
- Recognize the use of nanotextured and radiolucent interbody fusion devices
- Assign codes to complex spinal fusion cases

Smith-Peterson Osteotomy information was refreshing to know. I finally get why the interbody cage codes to posterior/anterior, but does not have to do with the approach to the procedure.

I learned about the osteotomy coding. It was good to have confirmation on how this is to be coded. Well done. Always great to have Kristi present. She is a really good presenter.
