ICD-10-PCS 0KN Medical and Surgical: Muscles Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (code prefix 0KN) refers to freeing a muscle from abnormal constraints to improve its function or movement. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and specifically targets muscles.

This root operation covers releasing muscles in various anatomical locations using different approaches. For example, the codes include procedures such as Release Head Muscle performed via Open approach (0KN00ZZ), Percutaneous approach (0KN03ZZ), or Percutaneous Endoscopic approach (0KN04ZZ). Similarly, muscle release can apply to the Facial muscle, Neck muscles on either side, Shoulder muscles, and extends distally down to the Hands and Feet. Approaches range from Open, Percutaneous, External, to Endoscopic. Coding this operation accurately allows documentation of the specific muscle released and method used, essential for treatment records and reimbursement.
