About 0SWF45Z

0SWF45Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the right ankle joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with external 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.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other arthrotomy, ankle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.17).

For a different body part, codes include 0SW945Z (right hip joint), 0SWB45Z (left hip joint), 0SWC45Z (right knee joint), 0SWD45Z (left knee joint), 0SWG45Z (left ankle joint), 0SWH45Z (right tarsal joint) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SWF05Z (open), 0SWF35Z (percutaneous) and 0SWFX5Z (external).

With a different device, use 0SWF40Z (drainage device), 0SWF43Z (infusion device), 0SWF44Z (internal fixation device), 0SWF47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SWF48Z (spacer), 0SWF4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 492 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 493 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with CC), DRG 494 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur 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 “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
