About 0SSB05Z
0SSB05Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the left hip joint using an open approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to open reduction of dislocation of hip, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.85).
For a different body part, codes include 0SS905Z (right hip joint), 0SSC05Z (right knee joint), 0SSD05Z (left knee joint), 0SSF05Z (right ankle joint), 0SSG05Z (left ankle joint), 0SSH05Z (right tarsal joint) and 7 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SSB35Z (percutaneous), 0SSB45Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SSBX5Z (external).
With a different device, use 0SSB04Z (internal fixation device) and 0SSB0ZZ (no device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 480 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 481 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with CC), DRG 482 (Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint 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 “Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Limb Reattachment, Hip and Femur Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
