About 0SSK05Z

0SSK05Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right tarsometatarsal 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 foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.88).

For a different body part, codes include 0SS905Z (right hip joint), 0SSB05Z (left hip joint), 0SSC05Z (right knee joint), 0SSD05Z (left knee joint), 0SSF05Z (right ankle joint), 0SSG05Z (left ankle joint) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SSK35Z (percutaneous), 0SSK45Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SSKX5Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SSK04Z (internal fixation device) and 0SSK0ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot Procedures 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 “Foot Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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