ICD-10-PCS Code For Lower Bursa And Ligament: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0MPY includes procedures performed to remove bursae and ligaments in lower anatomical locations. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician excises or extracts a lower bursa or ligament due to injury, disease, or as part of a surgical plan. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0MPY group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific removal procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents acutely after a fall with a swollen, painful prepatellar bursa that is fluctuant and erythematous. Imaging and aspiration confirm an infected bursa with a drained device placed previously that has failed to resolve the infection; the patient is admitted for surgical removal of the drainage device and debridement of the bursa via an open approach. Removal of the indwelling drain is performed to control the source of infection and allow definitive management of the bursal infection. Typical codes: 0MPY00Z
A middle-aged athlete with chronic lateral ankle pain from prior ligament reconstruction has persistent mechanical symptoms and imaging shows hypertrophic scar and a nonhealing synthetic ligament graft causing impingement. After conservative measures fail, the patient is electively admitted for operative removal of the synthetic ligament substitute in the lower extremity through a planned percutaneous endoscopic approach to relieve symptoms and restore function. Typical codes: 0MPY4JZ
A patient previously treated for a traumatic knee ligament tear with autologous tissue graft presents months later with persistent instability and graft failure on exam and MRI. The patient is taken back to the operating room for a revision procedure that requires removal of the failed autologous tissue substitute from the lower ligamentous structure using a percutaneous technique prior to reconstruction. Typical codes: 0MPY37Z
