ICD-10-PCS 0RB Medical and Surgical: Upper Joints Excision

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Excision (code starting with 0RB) refers to the removal of a portion of a body part, specifically here focused on the Upper Joints and related structures. This operation involves cutting out part of a joint or disc rather than removing it entirely.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, these excision codes cover a wide range of joints and discs in the cervical, thoracic, and upper extremity regions, including the occipital-cervical joint, cervical vertebral joints and discs, shoulder joints, elbow joints, and various wrist and hand joints such as carpal, metacarpophalangeal, and finger phalangeal joints. The procedure can be performed via different approaches like Open, Percutaneous, or Percutaneous Endoscopic, and may include a diagnostic intent.

For example, code 0RB00ZZ describes an open excision of the occipital-cervical joint, while 0RBJ4ZZ indicates a percutaneous endoscopic excision of the right shoulder joint. Accurate coding of these excision procedures is essential to reflect partial joint removal and the specific anatomical site and method used.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0RB - Excision (cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part). There are a total of 175 procedure codes in this section.
