Examples in this category include transferring the Right Index Finger to the Right Thumb (code 0XXN0ZL) and similarly transferring the Left Index Finger to the Left Thumb (code 0XXP0ZM), both performed via an Open Approach. These codes highlight applications where fingers are transferred to improve hand function, demonstrating how ICD-10-PCS defines and captures this complex surgical procedure.
