ICD-10-PCS Code For Right Trunk Tendon: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0LD9 includes procedures performed to extract tendons in the trunk. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an open extraction of all or part of a trunk tendon is performed to remove damaged or diseased tendon tissue. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0LD9 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Trunk Tendon Extraction Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes open extraction of a right trunk tendon, removing all or part of the tendon by force from the tendons body system. These procedures involve physically pulling or stripping out tendon tissue from the trunk to address injury, infection, or failed repairs. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient documentation reflects the specific operation and body part, which affects case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the emergency department after a high-energy motor vehicle collision with open lacerations and clinical evidence of a contaminated, ruptured right trunk tendon that cannot be repaired. Because of extensive tendon damage and contamination, the surgical team performs an open extraction of the nonviable portion of the right trunk tendon to remove devitalized tissue and reduce infection risk prior to staged reconstruction. The patient is admitted for inpatient postoperative care and monitoring for infection and wound healing. Typical codes: 0LD90ZZ
A patient with chronic degenerative tendon disease of the right trunk has progressive pain and functional impairment despite conservative management; imaging demonstrates irreparable degenerative changes localized to a segment of the right trunk tendon. The surgical plan is a scheduled open extraction of the diseased tendon segment to remove the pathologic tissue, with possible later reconstructive procedures. The procedure is performed electively in the inpatient setting for definitive management of the tendon pathology. Typical codes: 0LD90ZZ
A patient previously repaired for a right trunk tendon tear returns with persistent pain, wound breakdown, and signs of chronic infection around the repair site. Given failed prior repair and ongoing infection, the surgeon performs an open extraction to remove remaining tendon tissue and contaminated material from the right trunk tendon as part of management of the complication. The patient is admitted for inpatient antibiotic therapy and wound care following the extraction. Typical codes: 0LD90ZZ
