ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System XK - Muscles, Tendons, Bursae and Ligaments

The ICD-10-PCS root operation group Muscles, Tendons, Bursae and Ligaments (code range starting with XK) in the New Technology section involves procedures related to these soft tissue structures. This group includes operations to introduce substances or materials that support or enhance these body parts.

Within this classification, two key operations are highlighted: Introduction and Supplement. The Introduction operation (XK0) refers to placing therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substances into or onto muscles, tendons, bursae, or ligaments. Importantly, blood or blood products are excluded. Meanwhile, the Supplement operation (XKU) involves inserting biological or synthetic materials designed to physically reinforce or augment the function of these soft tissues. These procedures are essential for enhancing tendon or ligament strength or for delivering treatment substances in a targeted manner. Accurately coding these XK muscles, tendons, bursae and ligaments operations ensures precise documentation of advanced soft tissue interventions.
