About 0SPP34Z

0SPP34Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right toe phalangeal joint using a percutaneous approach with internal fixation device. 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 0SPP04Z (open), 0SPP44Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SPPX4Z (external).
