ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 0R - Upper Joints

The ICD-10-PCS root operations for the Upper Joints within the Medical and Surgical section cover a wide range of procedures involving treatment and management of joint conditions. These operations describe specific actions performed on upper joint body parts, such as the shoulder or elbow joints.

Examples include Change (0R2), which involves removing and replacing a device on the joint without cutting the skin, and Destruction (0R5), which physically eradicates part or all of the joint using energy or force. Procedures like Drainage (0R9) remove fluids or gases from the joint. Surgical interventions such as Excision (0RB) remove a portion of the joint tissue, while Fusion (0RG) joins parts of the joint to immobilize it. Other notable operations include Insertion (0RH), where a non-biological device is placed to assist joint function, and Replacement (0RR), which substitutes part or all of the joint with synthetic or biological material. Additional procedures like Repair, Release, and Reposition provide further options for restoring joint anatomy and function.
