ICD-10-PCS Code For Upper Femur Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0QU6 includes procedures performed to supplement biological or synthetic materials in the upper right femur. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when placement of grafts, implants, or other materials is performed to reinforce or augment the upper femur. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0QU6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the supplemental procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Upper Femur, Right Supplement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placing biological or synthetic material to reinforce or augment the structure or function of the upper right femur within the lower bones body system. These supplemental procedures typically add support to bone or adjacent tissues and may be performed during fracture fixation, reconstruction, or augmentation. Accurate ICD-10-PCS assignment ensures inpatient records reflect the supplemental intervention and supports correct case mix and payment determination.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when biological grafts, bone substitutes, plates, or other synthetic materials are introduced to the upper right femur specifically to reinforce or augment the bone. Select these codes for inpatient records when the primary action performed on the upper femur is supplementation rather than resection, replacement, or fixation alone.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with an unstable intertrochanteric fracture of the right proximal femur from a fall is admitted for operative management; during open fracture fixation the surgeon augments the compromised bone with a bone graft harvested from the patient to promote structural support and healing of the upper right femur. This inpatient supplemental procedure provides biological scaffolding at the fracture site to enhance fixation strength. Typical codes: 0QU607Z
A middle-aged patient with advanced osteolytic lesion of the right femoral neck due to benign bone tumor is scheduled for elective reconstruction; after curettage of the lesion, the surgeon places a synthetic bone substitute into the defect in the upper right femur via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to restore structural integrity and reduce fracture risk. The supplement is performed to augment the weakened bone and facilitate load-bearing. Typical codes: 0QU64JZ
A patient with a prior open reduction and internal fixation of the right proximal femur returns with nonunion and persistent bone void; during a percutaneous augmentation procedure the surgeon injects a nonautologous (allogeneic) bone graft substitute into the upper right femur to promote union and address the complication of failed healing. This supplemental intervention is done in the inpatient setting due to the need for anesthesia and close postoperative monitoring. Typical codes: 0QU63KZ
