About 0SPD08Z

0SPD08Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left knee joint using an open approach with spacer. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of (cement) spacer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (84.57).

For a different body part, codes include 0SP008Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP308Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SP508Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP608Z (coccygeal joint), 0SP708Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SP808Z (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPD38Z (percutaneous) and 0SPD48Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SPD00Z (drainage device), 0SPD03Z (infusion device), 0SPD04Z (internal fixation device), 0SPD05Z (external fixation device), 0SPD07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPD09Z (liner) and 6 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 463 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 464 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders with CC), DRG 465 (Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC) and DRG 959 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma” and “Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity”.

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