ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System XR - Joints

The ICD-10-PCS root operations for the Joints in the New Technology section include Monitoring, Fusion, Insertion, and Replacement. These operations describe various ways to manage joint function and condition using advanced medical techniques.

Monitoring (code XR2) involves repetitively determining a joint's physiological or physical function over time, helping assess its status. Fusion (code XRG) joins parts of an articular body part to render it immobile, often used to stabilize a damaged joint. Insertion (code XRH) refers to placing a nonbiological device that monitors or assists joint function without replacing the body part. Finally, Replacement (code XRR) entails implanting biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and function of all or part of the joint. Understanding and applying these joint-specific ICD-10-PCS codes accurately ensures precise documentation of modern joint procedures and technologies.
