About 0SPD0JC

0SPD0JC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left knee joint using an open approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: patellar surface). In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to arthrotomy for removal of prosthesis without replacement, knee, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.06).

For a different body part, codes include 0SPC0JC (right knee joint).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPD3JC (percutaneous) and 0SPD4JC (percutaneous endoscopic).

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 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) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Hip or Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection”, “Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 2 more.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
