ICD-10-PCS 0PT Medical and Surgical: Upper Bones Resection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Resection (code 0PT) involves the partial or complete removal of a body part. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically addresses the removal of bones in the upper body.

The classification includes detailed procedures such as the Resection of Sternum (0PT00ZZ) and removal of ribs, with codes distinguishing between 1 to 2 ribs (0PT10ZZ) and 3 or more ribs (0PT20ZZ), all performed via an Open Approach. Other examples cover various upper bones like the Scapula (right 0PT50ZZ, left 0PT60ZZ), Clavicle, Humeral Head, and bones of the arm and hand such as Radius, Ulna, Carpal, and Metacarpal. The specificity in these codes ensures precise documentation of the anatomical site and extent of bone removal, which is critical for surgical reporting and coding accuracy in upper bone resections.
