About 0SSLX5Z

0SSLX5Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using an external 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 closed reduction of dislocation of foot and toe, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (79.78).

For a different body part, codes include 0SS9X5Z (right hip joint), 0SSBX5Z (left hip joint), 0SSCX5Z (right knee joint), 0SSDX5Z (left knee joint), 0SSFX5Z (right ankle joint), 0SSGX5Z (left ankle joint) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SSL05Z (open), 0SSL35Z (percutaneous) and 0SSL45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0SSLX4Z (internal fixation device) and 0SSLXZZ (no device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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