Putty. Derived from demineralized cortical bone, SXDBM™ Putty is a flowable bone allograft. When mixed with fresh bone marrow aspirate or autograft from the patient, the allograft bone putty becomes osteogenic.

Code +20933 describes partial (hemicylindrical) bone allograft, while +20934 describes complete (cylindrical) allograft.

CPT® Code 20902 in section: Bone graft, any donor area.

CPT (medical procedure codes): The CPT cross-‐code for D7951/D7952 is 21210 “Graft, bone; nasal, maxillary or malar areas (includes obtaining graft).” This code may also be used if you are billing D7950 of the maxilla.

alloOss® Putty is a combination of DBM (demineralized bone matrix), cancellous FDBA (freeze dried bone allograft), and a carrier medium of CMC (carbonxymethyl-cellulose).

The bone allograft is supplied by the facility so the physician cannot bill for it. It’s paid for under the resources used by the facility.

Usually what is meant by minor or small (20900) is the place selected (anatomy site) for the bone graft such as the radius for scaphoid fracture grafting; major or large (20902) is usually what is used for iliac crest or larger anatomy structures.

A morselized graft involves cancellous bone or small bone fragments. An allograft is a purchased graft harvested from a cadaver, whereas an autograft is bone harvested from the patient’s own body.

DBM Putty is processed human bone that has been demineralized and combined with sodium hyaluronate, which is a naturally derived material not of animal origin that is both biocompatible and biodegradable.

Allografts can come in several different forms such as cortical, cancellous, and corticocancellous. Cortical allografts are incorporated by creeping substitution with intramembranous ossification, while cancellous allografts are incorporated by enchondral ossification.

ALLOMATRIX ™ is a line of Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) bone grafting putties containing OSTEOSET ™ surgical-grade calcium sulfate. May be combined with BMA to aid in osteogenesis. **Data on file at Wright — study was performed using rat model.

One code that may be relevant in an outpatient setting is a HCPCS Code, C1713. Anchor for opposing bone-to-bone or soft tissue-to-bone. This category now also applies to synthetic bone substitutes that may be used to fill bony voids or gaps (ie, bone substitute implanted into a bony defect created from trauma or surgery).
