0SPB44ZRemoval of Internal Fixation Device from Left Hip Joint, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach

0SPB44Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left hip joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with internal fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 0SP044Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP344Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP544Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP644Z (coccygeal joint), 0SP744Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SP844Z (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPB04Z (open), 0SPB34Z (percutaneous) and 0SPBX4Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SPB40Z (drainage device), 0SPB43Z (infusion device), 0SPB45Z (external fixation device), 0SPB47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPB48Z (spacer), 0SPB4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

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.
