ICD-10-PCS 0RC Medical and Surgical: Upper Joints Extirpation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code 0RC) involves the removal of solid matter such as clots, calculus, or foreign bodies from a body part. Within the Medical and Surgical section, this operation is specifically applied to the Upper Joints body system.

This operation targets conditions where obstructive or pathological matter must be cleared from joints such as the Occipital-cervical Joint, Cervical Vertebral Joint, Temporomandibular Joint, Shoulder Joint, and various wrist and finger joints. Extirpation can be performed through various approaches, including the Open Approach (e.g., code 0RC00ZZ), Percutaneous (e.g., code 0RC03ZZ), or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (e.g., code 0RC04ZZ), reflecting minimally invasive techniques. Each code precisely documents the joint and approach used, aiding in accurate procedural reporting and clinical communication regarding the removal of obstructive matter from upper joint structures.
