About 0QH907Z

0QH907Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left femoral shaft using an open approach with internal fixation device, intramedullary limb lengthening. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 0QH807Z (right femoral shaft), 0QHG07Z (right tibia) and 0QHH07Z (left tibia).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QH937Z (percutaneous) and 0QH947Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0QH904Z (internal fixation device), 0QH905Z (external fixation device), 0QH906Z (internal fixation device, intramedullary), 0QH908Z (external fixation device, limb lengthening), 0QH90BZ (external fixation device, monoplanar), 0QH90CZ (external fixation device, ring) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 480 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 481 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with CC), DRG 482 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Limb Reattachment, Hip and Femur Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
