0SJ90ZZInspection of Right Hip Joint, Open Approach

0SJ90ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the right hip joint using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, hip, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.15).

For a different body part, codes include 0SJ00ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SJ20ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SJ30ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SJ40ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SJ50ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SJ60ZZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SJ93ZZ (percutaneous), 0SJ94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SJ9XZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 403 (Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 404 (Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection without MCC), 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) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection”, “Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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