Introduce Gent-elut Bon Void Fil in Bones, Open, New Tech 7

This code describes the surgical insertion of a specialized bone void filler that releases antibiotics directly into a bone defect. This filler is designed to occupy space within the bone while simultaneously delivering antimicrobial agents to prevent or treat infection. The procedure is performed via an open incision, allowing direct visualization and access to the bone.

This code is used when a surgeon directly implants an antibiotic-eluting bone void filler into a bone defect through an open surgical approach. This is typically indicated for managing osteomyelitis, preventing infection in high-risk orthopedic surgeries, or filling bone gaps after debridement of infected tissue. It applies to new technology bone void fillers classified under New Technology Group 7.

• Confirm the bone void filler used is specifically designed to elute antibiotics and is classified under New Technology Group 7.
• Ensure the operative report clearly documents an "open" approach, not percutaneous or endoscopic.
• Distinguish this from simple bone graft placement or debridement without the introduction of an antibiotic-eluting filler.
