ICD-10-PCS 0PN Medical and Surgical: Upper Bones Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (code 0PN) in the Medical and Surgical section involves freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or other means. This procedure restores normal function to the affected part, often by relieving constriction or adhesions.

This operation is applicable to the Upper Bones in various locations, including the Sternum, ribs, vertebrae (cervical and thoracic), scapula, glenoid cavity, clavicle, humeral head and shaft, radius, ulna, carpal bones, metacarpals, and phalanges of the thumb and fingers. The procedure can be performed via multiple approaches such as Open, Percutaneous, and Percutaneous Endoscopic. For example, Release of the Sternum can be coded as 0PN00ZZ (Open Approach) or 0PN04ZZ (Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). Similarly, releasing 1 to 2 ribs is captured under codes like 0PN10ZZ (Open Approach) and 0PN14ZZ (Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). These detailed codes enable precise documentation of the procedure’s target bone and chosen surgical technique.
