About 0SG905Z

0SG905Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the right hip joint using an open approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, fusion means joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.

In plain terms, this corresponds to arthrodesis of hip, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0SGB05Z (left hip joint), 0SGC05Z (right knee joint), 0SGD05Z (left knee joint), 0SGF05Z (right ankle joint), 0SGG05Z (left ankle joint), 0SGH05Z (right tarsal joint) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SG935Z (percutaneous) and 0SG945Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SG903Z (internal fixation device, sustained compression), 0SG904Z (internal fixation device), 0SG907Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SG90JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SG90KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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”.

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