About 0SPD3KZ
0SPD3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left knee joint using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 0SP03KZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SP23KZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SP33KZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SP43KZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SP53KZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SP63KZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SPD0KZ (open) and 0SPD4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SPD30Z (drainage device), 0SPD33Z (infusion device), 0SPD34Z (internal fixation device), 0SPD35Z (external fixation device), 0SPD37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SPD38Z (spacer) and 4 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 400 (Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Infection), DRG 488 (Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection with CC/MCC), DRG 489 (Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Infection”, “Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection” and “Other O.R.
