About 0SPD07Z
0SPD07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left knee joint using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R.
