ICD-10-PCS Code For Left Femoral Shaft: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0Q89 includes procedures performed to divide structures in the left femoral shaft. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a division of the left femoral shaft is performed to separate or transect the bone. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0Q89 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Femoral Shaft, Left Division Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient division procedures performed on the left femoral shaft within the lower bones body system. These procedures involve cutting into the femoral shaft to separate or transect bone without draining fluids or gases. Accurate code selection is important because it ensures the medical record reflects the specific division of the left femoral shaft and supports correct inpatient reimbursement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the emergency department after a high-energy motor vehicle collision with an open, comminuted fracture of the left femoral shaft resulting in gross displacement and interposed bone fragments preventing anatomic alignment. In the operating room, the surgeon performs an open division of the left femoral shaft to remove nonviable bone segments and to prepare the femur for definitive fixation. The goal is to transect and separate damaged bone portions without performing drainage or placing devices during this part of the procedure. Typical codes: 0Q890ZZ
A patient with chronic refractory osteomyelitis of the left femoral shaft is scheduled for a planned inpatient procedure to remove a segment of infected bone. Under imaging guidance, the surgeon uses a percutaneous technique to transect and extract the diseased portion of the femoral shaft to eradicate infected bone while minimizing soft tissue disruption. The procedure involves dividing the shaft percutaneously without insertion of permanent devices during the division step. Typical codes: 0Q893ZZ
An older patient with a long-standing nonunion and painful deformity of the left femoral shaft after prior failed fixation is admitted for revision surgery. The team uses a percutaneous endoscopic-assisted approach to perform a controlled division of the femoral shaft to resect fibrous tissue and create fresh bone ends for subsequent reconstruction and fixation. The division is performed endoscopically and does not involve draining fluids or placing implants during the transection maneuver. Typical codes: 0Q894ZZ
