About 0SW944Z
0SW944Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right hip joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with internal fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SW904Z (open), 0SW934Z (percutaneous) and 0SW9X4Z (external).
