0SHG45ZInsertion of External Fixation Device into Left Ankle Joint, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach

0SHG45Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left ankle joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, ankle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.17).

For a different body part, codes include 0SH945Z (right hip joint), 0SHB45Z (left hip joint), 0SHC45Z (right knee joint), 0SHD45Z (left knee joint), 0SHF45Z (right ankle joint), 0SHH45Z (right tarsal joint) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SHG05Z (open) and 0SHG35Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0SHG43Z (infusion device), 0SHG44Z (internal fixation device) and 0SHG48Z (spacer).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 492 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 493 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with CC), DRG 494 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur 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 “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur”, “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.
