About 0SRC0MA

0SRC0MA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right knee joint using an open approach with synthetic substitute, unicondylar lateral (qualifier: uncemented). 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.

For a different body part, codes include 0SRD0MA (left knee joint).

With a different device, use 0SRC06A (synthetic substitute, oxidized zirconium on polyethylene), 0SRC0JA (synthetic substitute), 0SRC0LA (synthetic substitute, unicondylar medial) and 0SRC0NA (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.
