About 0SWLX5Z
0SWLX5Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left tarsometatarsal joint using an external 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0SW9X5Z (right hip joint), 0SWBX5Z (left hip joint), 0SWCX5Z (right knee joint), 0SWDX5Z (left knee joint), 0SWFX5Z (right ankle joint), 0SWGX5Z (left ankle joint) and 7 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SWL05Z (open), 0SWL35Z (percutaneous) and 0SWL45Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SWLX0Z (drainage device), 0SWLX3Z (infusion device), 0SWLX4Z (internal fixation device), 0SWLX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SWLX8Z (spacer), 0SWLXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
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.
