ICD-10-PCS XNH New Technology: Bones Insertion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (code XNH) in the New Technology section refers to placing a device into or on a body part. This operation is used when introducing novel or advanced medical devices during procedures involving the bones.

This root operation includes the implantation of specialized internal fixation devices with components like tulip connectors into specific bones, such as the Right or Left Pelvic Bone. For example, codes XNH6058 and XNH7058 denote insertion via an Open Approach while XNH6358 and XNH7358 describe insertion through a less invasive Percutaneous Approach. Furthermore, advances in technology allow the insertion of devices equipped with motion sensors, such as the tibial extensions coded XNHG0F9 and XNHH0F9, both performed by an open surgical approach into the Right or Left Tibia. Accurately coding these new technology insertion procedures ensures precise documentation of cutting-edge orthopedic interventions.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify XNH - Insertion (putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents aphysiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part). There are a total of 7 procedure codes in this section.
