About 0SPB35Z

0SPB35Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left hip joint using a percutaneous approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPB05Z (open), 0SPB45Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SPBX5Z (external).
