    The cpt code would be 64831, 64832. The explanation behind this is 64831 is the right code to account the digital nerve was repaired. 64832 is the accurate secondary code since there was an added digital nerve that is necessary for repair. 51 is not joined to the secondary code since this code is an extra code and add-on codes are modifier 51 discharged.
