About the 0Q5 Code Range
These procedures destroy all or part of a lower bone using energy, force, or a destructive agent. They do not physically remove bone.
The fourth character identifies the bone, from lumbar vertebra and sacrum to toe phalanx, and distinguishes right from left where listed. It also separates upper femur, femoral shaft, and lower femur. The fifth character distinguishes an open approach from entry through a puncture or small incision, with or without a scope. The sixth character is No Device. The seventh distinguishes No Qualifier from Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy, which uses laser heat within tissue.
