ICD-10-PCS 0R5 Medical and Surgical: Upper Joints Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code 0R5) involves the deliberate termination of the function of a body part, in this case, specifically targeting upper joints. This operation permanently disables the joint’s function without removing it.

This Medical and Surgical section procedure encompasses a variety of upper joint sites such as the occipital-cervical joint, cervical vertebral joints and discs, and multiple joints of the upper extremity including the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The destruction can be performed by different approaches: Open, Percutaneous, or Percutaneous Endoscopic. For example, code 0R500ZZ denotes open destruction of the occipital-cervical joint, while 0R533ZZ represents percutaneous destruction of a cervical vertebral disc. These codes illustrate how treatment is precisely documented based on the targeted joint and method of access. Accurate use of these codes is crucial for reflecting the nature and extent of joint destruction procedures in clinical practice.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0R5 - Destruction (physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent). There are a total of 88 procedure codes in this section.
