About 0SGL03Z

0SGL03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using an open 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.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SGL33Z (percutaneous) and 0SGL43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SGL04Z (internal fixation device), 0SGL05Z (external fixation device), 0SGL07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SGL0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SGL0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
