Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents after a fall with severe pain and imaging showing comminuted osteochondral fragments within the right hip joint causing mechanical locking and persistent synovitis. The orthopedic team performs an open operative excision to remove the damaged joint fragments and debride the joint without implanting a prosthesis to restore joint function and relieve pain. This is done during the inpatient admission for definitive surgical management and post‑op monitoring. Typical codes: 0SB90ZZ
A middle‑aged patient with longstanding avascular necrosis of the right femoral head develops progressive joint collapse and focal osteochondral defects causing intractable pain despite conservative therapy. The planned inpatient procedure is a percutaneous endoscopic excision of the devitalized tissue and loose fragments from the right hip joint to reduce pain and improve joint mechanics, with no replacement performed at this time. Typical codes: 0SB94ZZ
A patient previously treated nonoperatively for septic arthritis of the right hip now has persistent intra‑articular fibrous tissue and organized debris causing limited range of motion and ongoing inflammation after antibiotics. During the inpatient admission for surgical management, the team performs a percutaneous excision to remove the intra‑articular scar and residual inflammatory material to improve joint mobility and control symptoms, without inserting a prosthesis. Typical codes: 0SB93ZZ
