ICD-10-PCS Code For Left Shoulder Muscle: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0KR6 includes procedures performed to replace all or part of the left shoulder muscle with biological or synthetic material in the Muscles body system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a left shoulder muscle replacement is performed to restore function or structure after injury, disease, or failed prior treatment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0KR6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific replacement procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Left Shoulder Muscle Replacement Procedure Overview

This procedure group covers inpatient replacement procedures that implant biological or synthetic material to take the place and function of the left shoulder muscle. These procedures target the Muscles body system and involve removing damaged muscle tissue and placing material that restores muscle function. Precise ICD-10-PCS coding of these replacement procedures is critical for accurate inpatient documentation and appropriate reimbursement because it reflects the specific operation, body part, and materials used.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with chronic massive rotator cuff tear and progressive left deltoid and shoulder girdle muscle loss after multiple failed conservative treatments presents for inpatient planned reconstruction because of loss of function and persistent pain limiting activities of daily living. The surgical team removes nonviable left shoulder muscle tissue and implants biologic autologous tissue substitute harvested from the patient to restore muscle bulk and function; inpatient coding reflects an open replacement using autologous material. Typical codes: 0KR607Z
A middle-aged trauma patient admitted after a motorcycle collision with extensive left shoulder muscle destruction and contamination; after stabilization and debridement, the orthopedic team performs an open replacement of the damaged left shoulder muscle using a synthetic prosthetic substitute to re-establish structural support and enable early rehabilitation. Typical codes: 0KR60JZ
A patient with prior left shoulder muscle grafting who develops graft failure and significant functional deficit requiring revision via minimally invasive endoscopic technique; the surgeon removes the failed graft and places a nonautologous (donor) tissue substitute endoscopically to replace the compromised left shoulder muscle tissue. Typical codes: 0KR64KZ
