nclination. a general anesthetic was administered. a standard dorsal central approach to the wrist was made. the capsule was opened in a t fashion and the malunion site was identified. a series of osteotomes was utilized to open the fracture site and the normal distal radial architecture was restored. the pie-plate was placed on the distal radius utilizing a combination of 2.0 and 1.8 screws and threaded pins for the distal segment and 2.7 screws proximally. fragments were secured, and norian srs was packed into the defect and allowed to harden. with this completed, the wounds were copiously irrigated with normal saline. soft tissue was closed over the plate and distal radius, and secured with 2-0 vicryl. what cpt® code is reported?

The answer is 25400-LT. the explanation behind this is this is not the reparation of a fracture; it is repair of a malunion. In the CPT® Index look for Repair/Radius/Malunion or Nonunion, 25400, 25405, 25415, 25420. Code 25400 reports repair of a malunion of the radius. There is no indication of an autograft; hence, 25405 is incorrect. Norian SRS is a biocompatible bone gap filler, not a graft. Modifier LT is added to indicate the procedure is executed on the left side.

What food product is most likely to be enriched with thiamin niacin riboflavin and iron?
svlad2 [7]

Refined grain products like bread, flour tortillas, white rice, cornmeal, crackers etc are enriched with riboflavin, niacin, iron and thiamin.

Enriched grains is finely ground endosperm of the kernel. Enriched grain products are good as a source of iron and four types of vitamin B which includes niacin, thiamin, folic acid and riboflavin and also contains some complex carbohydrates.

Wheat and rice are a staple diet in many regions of the world but excessive polishing and refining the cereals removes the essential nutrients or vitamins which have their own important physiological roles.

Explain why most farmers use stem cuttings to plant new fruit trees rather than plant seeds.
Dvinal [7]

The main reason that most farmers use stem cuttings rather than just planting a seed is that a tree's genetic variation will occur. The seeds of many fruit trees tend to vary differently from the parent, because seeds themselves are produced by sexual reproduction (i.e they receive genes from a male and female to form). As they are a cross from two sets of genes, many fruit trees are not “true to seed”. Their seeds will produce a generally different variety of tree from the parent. When using stem cuttings, it's almost like a cloning process.
