ICD-10-PCS 0XR Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, Upper Extremities Replacement

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Replacement (0XR) involves taking out a portion of the upper extremity and putting in a new body part to restore function. This procedure is common in reconstructive surgeries where damaged or lost tissue is substituted with healthy tissue.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, the replacement focuses on the upper extremities such as the thumb. The provided examples demonstrate replacement using an autologous tissue substitute—tissue taken from the patient’s own body, specifically a toe. Codes like 0XRL07N and 0XRL07P describe the open approach to replace the right thumb with either the right or left toe. Less invasive options include the Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach represented by codes such as 0XRL47N and 0XRL47P. These detailed codes enable precise documentation of the replacement procedure, critical for accurate clinical records and billing within the upper extremity category.
