ICD-10-PCS 0RT Medical and Surgical: Upper Joints Resection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Resection (code 0RT) refers to the surgical removal of a portion or all of a body part. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and typically involves excision to treat disease or injury affecting joints and vertebral discs.

Within this classification, the codes specify resections of various joints and vertebral discs using an Open Approach. Examples include resections of the Cervical Vertebral Disc (code 0RT30ZZ), the Right Temporomandibular Joint (0RTC0ZZ), and the Left Shoulder Joint (0RTK0ZZ). Also represented are resections of the Thoracic Vertebral Disc (0RT90ZZ) and multiple joints of the upper extremities, such as the Right Wrist Joint (0RTN0ZZ) and Left Finger Phalangeal Joint (0RTX0ZZ). These ICD-10-PCS codes enable precise documentation of the specific joint or disc resected, aiding clinical clarity and coding accuracy.
