Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis presents with a chronic, painful inflammatory mass over the dorsal aspect of the right hand bursa that has failed prolonged medical therapy and is causing functional impairment. The surgical team performs an open destructive procedure to eradicate the diseased bursal tissue and involved ligamentous fraying to relieve pain and improve hand function. The inpatient record documents direct eradication of the right hand bursa and ligament via an open approach. Typical codes: 0M570ZZ
A middle-aged patient sustains a crushing injury to the right hand with focal devitalization and severe contusion of a ligament and adjacent bursal tissue, resulting in progressive infection and necrosis despite initial wound care. Because bedside measures are insufficient, the team performs a percutaneous destructive procedure to remove the necrotic portion of the right hand bursa and ligament to control infection and preserve surrounding structures. The operative note documents eradication of the affected bursal and ligament tissue through a percutaneous approach. Typical codes: 0M573ZZ
A patient who previously underwent endoscopic debridement for persistent right hand dorsal bursal swelling returns with recurrent symptomatic synovitis localized to a ligament-bursa complex. The surgeon performs a percutaneous endoscopic destructive procedure to ablate the recurrent pathologic tissue under direct visualization, aiming to remove the residual diseased bursa and ligament fibers. The procedure is recorded as destruction of the right hand bursa and ligament using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. Typical codes: 0M574ZZ
