ICD-10-PCS 0QN Medical and Surgical: Lower Bones Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (code 0QN) involves freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by other means. This operation is performed to restore the normal range of motion or function of the affected structure without moving or repositioning it.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, the Release operation applies extensively to the Lower Bones body system. Examples of specific procedure codes include the release of the Lumbar Vertebra using an Open Approach (code 0QN00ZZ) or a less invasive Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (code 0QN04ZZ). Similar procedures target bones such as the Sacrum, Pelvic Bones, Acetabulum, and various regions of the Femur, Tibia, and Fibula. The collection of codes shows the versatility of approaches—from open surgery to minimally invasive endoscopic techniques—used to release constrictions impacting these bones. Accurate coding with these release operation codes is essential for documenting surgical treatment to alleviate abnormal restrictions in the lower skeletal system.
