Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient with chronic, debilitating right-sided sacroiliac joint pain refractory to conservative therapy (physical therapy, injections, and medication) is admitted for an elective operative procedure to remove a diseased portion of the right sacroiliac joint to alleviate pain and improve function; intraoperative findings confirm focal joint degeneration without need for implant or replacement. Typical codes: 0SB70ZZ, 0SB73ZZ
An elderly patient presents emergently with septic arthritis of the right sacroiliac joint confirmed by imaging and joint aspiration who requires inpatient surgical debridement and excision of infected joint tissue to control the infection and prevent systemic spread. Typical codes: 0SB70ZZ, 0SB73ZZ
A younger adult undergoing minimally invasive diagnostic evaluation for persistent right sacroiliac pain after trauma is taken to the operating room for percutaneous endoscopic excision of a suspicious intra-articular lesion for tissue diagnosis; the goal is removal of the tissue for pathology without joint replacement. Typical codes: 0SB74ZX, 0SB73ZX
