About 0SQJ0ZZ

0SQJ0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left tarsal joint using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of joint, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.96).

For a different body part, codes include 0SQ00ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SQ20ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0SQ30ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0SQ40ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0SQ50ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SQ60ZZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SQJ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0SQJ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SQJXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.

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