ICD-10-PCS 0JN Medical and Surgical: Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (code 0JN) refers to freeing a body part from abnormal constraint by cutting or otherwise disrupting connective tissue such as subcutaneous tissue and fascia. It does not involve excision or division but focuses on relieving tension or restriction.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, this operation targets the Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia across various body regions. Examples include codes for release of the Scalp such as 0JN00ZZ (Open Approach) and 0JN03ZZ (Percutaneous Approach), release of the Face with 0JN10ZZ (Open Approach), and release of the Right Neck using 0JN40ZZ (Open Approach) or 0JN43ZZ (Percutaneous Approach). Other sites coded similarly span from the Chest, Back, Abdomen, to extremities like the Right Upper Arm (0JND0ZZ) and Left Foot (0JNR3ZZ). These variations highlight the procedure’s specificity to body part and approach, essential for accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of soft tissue releases.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0JN - Release (freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force). There are a total of 67 procedure codes in this section.
