Dr. Jones evaluates a 28-year-old male patient presents to the emergency department after being involved

Dr. Jones evaluates a 28-year-old male patient presents to the emergency department after being involved in a physical altercation. He has significant facial swelling and pain over the left cheekbone. A CT scan confirms a displaced fracture of the left zygomatic arch. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon determines closed reduction will not provide adequate alignment, so open reduction and internal fixation is planned. What CPT code would be appropriate for Dr. Jones to report for the open reduction and internal fixation of a zygomatic arch fracture?
