Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The scenario involves a secondary repair of two flexor tendons in the forearm. CPT code 25272 describes the repair of a secondary flexor tendon injury, including a graft, in the forearm and/or wrist, which fits the description provided. This code should be reported once, as the procedure encompasses the repair of multiple tendons.
