About 0RGL33Z

0RGL33Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the right elbow joint using a percutaneous approach with internal fixation device, sustained compression. In ICD-10-PCS, fusion means joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.

For a different body part, codes include 0RGM33Z (left elbow joint), 0RGN33Z (right wrist joint), 0RGP33Z (left wrist joint), 0RGQ33Z (right carpal joint), 0RGR33Z (left carpal joint), 0RGS33Z (right carpometacarpal joint) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RGL03Z (open) and 0RGL43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0RGL34Z (internal fixation device), 0RGL35Z (external fixation device), 0RGL37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0RGL3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0RGL3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 507 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 508 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
