About 0SGL05Z

0SGL05Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the left tarsometatarsal 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 tarsometatarsal fusion, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.15).

For a different body part, codes include 0SG905Z (right hip joint), 0SGB05Z (left hip joint), 0SGC05Z (right knee joint), 0SGD05Z (left knee joint), 0SGF05Z (right ankle joint), 0SGG05Z (left ankle joint) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SGL35Z (percutaneous) and 0SGL45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SGL03Z (internal fixation device, sustained compression), 0SGL04Z (internal fixation device), 0SGL07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SGL0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SGL0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot 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 “Foot 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.
