About XNS40GA
XNS40GA is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the right humeral shaft using an open approach with ring external fixation device with automated strut adjustment (qualifier: new technology group 10). In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
For a different body part, codes include XNS50GA (left humeral shaft), XNS60GA (right radius), XNS70GA (left radius), XNS80GA (right ulna), XNS90GA (left ulna), XNSA0GA (right upper femur) and 7 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded XNS43GA (percutaneous).
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”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R.
