About 0SWD0JC

0SWD0JC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left knee joint using an open approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: patellar surface). In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to revision of knee replacement, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.55).

For a different body part, codes include 0SWC0JC (right knee joint).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SWD3JC (percutaneous), 0SWD4JC (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0SWDXJC (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 449 (Revision of Hip or Knee Prosthesis), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Revision of Hip or Knee Prosthesis”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
