About 0PQS3ZZ

0PQS3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left thumb phalanx using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair or plastic operations on bone, other bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (78.49).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0PQS0ZZ (open), 0PQS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0PQSXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.
