Coccygeal Joint Resection Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve surgical resection of the coccygeal joint within the lower joints body system and are performed via an open approach. These operations remove all of the coccygeal joint without replacement to treat pain, deformity, or pathology localized to the coccyx. Accurate coding of these resections matters for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific body part and root operation performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment.
