ICD-10-PCS 0S5 Medical and Surgical: Lower Joints Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code set starting with 0S5) involves the purposeful eradication of all or part of a body part through direct energy, force, or other means. This operation is specifically applied within the Medical and Surgical section targeting the Lower Joints.

In this classification, destruction procedures address various joints such as the Lumbar Vertebral Joint, Lumbosacral Joint, Sacroiliac Joint, Hip Joint, Knee Joint, Ankle Joint, and multiple foot joints. These interventions can be performed via several approaches, including Open, Percutaneous, and Percutaneous Endoscopic. For example, codes 0S500ZZ and 0S503ZZ represent destruction of the lumbar vertebral joint performed open or percutaneously, respectively. Similarly, destruction of the right hip joint is represented by codes 0S590ZZ (open) and 0S593ZZ (percutaneous). This range of codes allows coding professionals to specify both the precise joint targeted and the method used, ensuring detailed procedural documentation for lower joint destruction procedures in ICD-10-PCS.
