ICD-10-PCS XNU New Technology: Bones Supplement

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Supplement (code prefix XNU) in the New Technology section involves the insertion of material to support or enhance the function of a body part, specifically within the Bones category. This procedure is used to reinforce or replace structural components without removing any original tissue.

For example, the codes demonstrate supplementing the Lumbar Vertebra or Thoracic Vertebra using a mechanically expandable paired synthetic substitute via a Percutaneous Approach (codes XNU0356 and XNU4356). These new technology codes reflect advanced methods for bone supplementation designed to improve stability and function while minimizing invasiveness. Correct use of these ICD-10-PCS codes is essential for accurately documenting innovative procedures that support spinal structures.
