ICD-10-PCS XRG New Technology: Joints Fusion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Fusion (code XRG) in the New Technology section involves joining together bones or bone segments to immobilize a joint or eliminate motion. This procedure is commonly applied to various joints to stabilize them using specialized fusion devices.

Examples include fusion of the thoracolumbar vertebral joint with different devices such as paired titanium cages via an open approach (e.g., code XRGA0EA) or using a custom-made interbody fusion device through percutaneous and percutaneous endoscopic approaches (codes XRGA3R7 and XRGA4R7). Similar techniques apply to the lumbar vertebral joint, lumbosacral joint, and sacroiliac joints, with variations in fixation devices and approaches. The procedure also extends to smaller joints in the lower extremities like the ankle and tarsal joints, using advanced internal fixation devices such as the open-truss design or gyroid-sheet lattice design (codes XRGJ0B9, XRGK0CA, etc.). These codes reflect the technological innovations in joint fusion aimed at improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive and customized device options.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify XRG - Fusion (joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile). There are a total of 29 procedure codes in this section.
