0RSL05ZReposition Right Elbow Joint with External Fixation Device, Open Approach

0RSL05Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right elbow joint using an open approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to open reduction of dislocation of elbow, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.82).

For a different body part, codes include 0RSM05Z (left elbow joint), 0RSN05Z (right wrist joint), 0RSP05Z (left wrist joint), 0RSQ05Z (right carpal joint), 0RSR05Z (left carpal joint), 0RSS05Z (right carpometacarpal joint) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0RSL35Z (percutaneous), 0RSL45Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0RSLX5Z (external).

With a different device, use 0RSL04Z (internal fixation device) and 0RSL0ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 510 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with MCC), DRG 511 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures with CC), DRG 512 (Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major 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) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Shoulder, Elbow or Forearm Procedures, Except Major Joint Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
