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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0QU8 includes procedures performed to supplement biological or synthetic material in the femoral shaft, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a surgeon places material to reinforce, augment, or support the femoral shaft during treatment of fracture, nonunion, or structural deficiency. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0QU8 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Femoral Shaft Supplement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve placing biological or synthetic material to reinforce or augment the femoral shaft on the right side and target the lower bones body system. These supplement operations physically support or stabilize the femoral shaft to restore function or promote healing. Accurate coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific augmentation performed and supports correct reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when biological or synthetic material is intentionally placed on the right femoral shaft to augment or reinforce the bone during an inpatient surgical encounter. These codes apply when the primary operative intent is supplementation rather than replacement or repair.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents after a ground-level fall with a displaced right femoral shaft fracture and poor bone stock; during inpatient surgical fixation the surgeon augments the fracture site with bone graft harvested from the patient to promote union and provide structural support. The procedure is performed open at the time of definitive fixation due to the need for direct visualization and placement of autologous material. Typical codes: 0QU807Z
A middle-aged trauma patient with a comminuted right femoral shaft fracture and segmental bone loss from a motor vehicle collision requires inpatient reconstruction; the orthopedic team places a synthetic bone substitute to fill the defect and reinforce the shaft during the planned reconstructive operation. The augmentation is intentional supplementation of the right femoral shaft using a synthetic material via an open surgical approach. Typical codes: 0QU80JZ
A patient with a prior femoral shaft nonunion treated months earlier returns with persistent pain and radiographic nonunion; the surgeon performs a minimally invasive percutaneous bone grafting procedure to augment the right femoral shaft using allogeneic (nonautologous) bone substitute to stimulate healing and avoid another large open exposure. Typical codes: 0QU83KZ, 0QU84KZ
