0SPC4MZRemoval of Lateral Unicondylar Synthetic Substitute from Right Knee Joint, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach

0SPC4MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right knee joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute, unicondylar lateral. 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 0SPC0MZ (open) and 0SPC3MZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0SPC40Z (drainage device), 0SPC43Z (infusion device), 0SPC44Z (internal fixation device), 0SPC45Z (external fixation device), 0SPC47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPC48Z (spacer) and 4 more.
