ICD-10-PCS 0SC Medical and Surgical: Lower Joints Extirpation

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation in the Medical and Surgical section involves removing solid or semifluid matter from a body part without removing the body part itself. This procedure is commonly used for clearing obstructions or infected material.

Within the coding set for lower joints, extirpation targets matter such as debris or pathological substances located in joints or discs of the lumbar vertebral, lumbosacral, sacrococcygeal, coccygeal, hip, knee, ankle, tarsal, and related joints. Examples include extirpation of matter from the Lumbar Vertebral Joint via an Open Approach (code 0SC00ZZ), or minimally invasive methods like the Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach for the Lumbosacral Disc (code 0SC44ZZ). Both sides of bilateral joints, such as the Right Hip Joint (code 0SC90ZZ) and Left Knee Joint (code 0SCD0ZZ), are covered with options for open, percutaneous, and endoscopic approaches, reflecting the precise documentation capabilities of ICD-10-PCS for extirpation procedures in joint care.
