ICD-10-PCS 0X0 Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, Upper Extremities Alteration
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Alteration (code starting with 0X0) involves modifying the anatomical structure of a body region, primarily the upper extremities, without removing any tissue. This operation is performed to change the form or appearance for a specific clinical purpose rather than to treat a pathology directly.
The classification under the Medical and Surgical section highlights the adaptability of this procedure across various anatomical sites such as the shoulder, axilla, upper arm, elbow, lower arm, and wrist regions. The examples show that alteration can be executed via multiple approaches — including open, percutaneous, and percutaneous endoscopic techniques. Depending on the case, this operation may use different substitutes such as autologous tissue, synthetic, or nonautologous tissue substitutes. For instance, code 0X0207Z represents an open alteration of the right shoulder region using an autologous tissue substitute, while 0X033ZZ indicates alteration of the left shoulder region via a percutaneous approach without a tissue substitute. Accurately coding these upper extremity alteration procedures ensures precise documentation of the surgical modification performed without excision or repair.
