0SRC069Replacement of Right Knee Joint with Oxidized Zirconium on Polyethylene Synthetic Substitute, Cemented, Open Approach

0SRC069 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right knee joint using an open approach with synthetic substitute, oxidized zirconium on polyethylene (qualifier: cemented). In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to total knee replacement, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.54).

For a different body part, codes include 0SR9069 (right hip joint), 0SRB069 (left hip joint) and 0SRD069 (left knee joint).

With a different device, use 0SRC0J9 (synthetic substitute), 0SRC0L9 (synthetic substitute, unicondylar medial), 0SRC0M9 (synthetic substitute, unicondylar lateral) and 0SRC0N9 (synthetic substitute, patellofemoral).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 461 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity with MCC), DRG 462 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity without MCC), DRG 469 (Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity with MCC or Total Ankle Replacement), DRG 470 (Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), under the surgical categories “Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity”, “Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity or Total Ankle Replacement”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
