ICD-10-PCS Code for Temporomandibular Joint Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0RRC includes procedures performed to replace joint structures in the temporomandibular joint, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a surgeon replaces part or all of the right temporomandibular joint with biological or synthetic material to restore function or relieve symptoms. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0RRC group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Temporomandibular Joint, Right Replacement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve replacement of the right temporomandibular joint, part of the upper joints body system, with biological or synthetic material that takes the place and function of the joint. These inpatient operations remove and replace joint components to restore function, reduce pain, or address joint destruction. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for reflecting the surgical care provided and for appropriate inpatient reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the right temporomandibular joint is surgically replaced, either partially or completely, with biologic or synthetic material. These codes apply in inpatient settings when documentation supports removal of native joint tissue and insertion of replacement material.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient with end-stage osteoarthritis of the right temporomandibular joint presents with progressive jaw pain, severe functional limitation of mouth opening, and radiographic evidence of joint destruction. Nonoperative measures and conservative interventions failed to relieve symptoms, and the surgical team plans inpatient replacement of the right temporomandibular joint using the patient’s own tissue (autologous graft) to reconstruct the joint surfaces and restore function. The operation involves removal of damaged joint structures and implantation of autologous tissue via an open approach. Typical codes: 0RRC07Z
A 28-year-old patient sustains high-energy facial trauma in a motor vehicle collision with comminuted fracture and destruction of the right temporomandibular joint. After initial stabilization, the inpatient surgical team performs an open replacement of the destroyed joint with a synthetic prosthesis to reconstruct the joint anatomy and re-establish occlusion and mandibular function. The procedure requires removal of nonviable joint components and placement of a synthetic implant during the same inpatient operation. Typical codes: 0RRC0JZ
A 54-year-old patient previously underwent a right temporomandibular joint graft but developed persistent pain and mechanical dysfunction from graft failure and heterotopic bone formation. The patient is admitted for revision surgery to remove the failed graft and replace the joint with a cadaveric or other nonautologous tissue substitute via an open approach to restore joint mobility and reduce pain. The inpatient revision requires explantation of prior material and insertion of the new nonautologous tissue substitute. Typical codes: 0RRC0KZ
