ICD-10-PCS 0SN Medical and Surgical: Lower Joints Release

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Release (Character N) involves freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or otherwise disrupting the structure. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation targets Lower Joints to improve movement or relieve pain caused by adhesions or contractures.

This classification includes precise codes for releasing various lower body joints such as the Lumbar Vertebral Joint, Lumbosacral Joint, Sacroiliac Joint, Hip Joint, Knee Joint, Ankle Joint, and multiple foot joints. Approaches range from Open (e.g., 0SN00ZZ for lumbar vertebral joint release) to less invasive methods like Percutaneous (e.g., 0SN03ZZ) and Percutaneous Endoscopic (e.g., 0SN04ZZ), as well as an External Approach option. These diverse codes allow detailed documentation of the specific joint released and the surgical technique used, which is essential for accurate clinical reporting and procedural tracking within the lower musculoskeletal system.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0SN - Release (freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force). There are a total of 89 procedure codes in this section.
