About 0SGQ44Z

0SGQ44Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the left toe phalangeal joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with internal 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 other fusion of foot, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.17).

For a different body part, codes include 0SG544Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SG744Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SG844Z (left sacroiliac joint), 0SG944Z (right hip joint), 0SGB44Z (left hip joint), 0SGC44Z (right knee joint) and 10 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SGQ04Z (open) and 0SGQ34Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0SGQ43Z (internal fixation device, sustained compression), 0SGQ45Z (external fixation device), 0SGQ47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SGQ4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SGQ4KZ (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) and DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Foot Procedures”.

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