ICD-10-PCS Code For Radius/Ulna: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DP07 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to structures in the radius and ulna. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when external beam radiation is administered specifically to the radius and ulna for treatment of malignant or other radiation-indicated conditions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DP07 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Radius/Ulna Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes beam radiation treatments directed at the radius and ulna within the musculoskeletal system. Procedures involve delivering targeted external beam radiation to the bones and surrounding soft tissues of the forearm to treat neoplastic or other radiation-indicated conditions. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operation and body part treated, which supports appropriate case mix assignment and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when inpatient care includes delivery of external beam radiation directed to the radius or ulna for treatment of neoplastic or other conditions requiring radiation. Select the appropriate code when documentation clearly indicates beam radiation as the operation and the radius or ulna as the specific anatomical target.

DP075ZZ	Beam Radiation of Radius/Ulna using Neutrons
DP076ZZ	Beam Radiation of Radius/Ulna using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a pathologic fracture of the distal radius due to a primary bone malignancy is admitted for pain control and stabilization; after orthopedic management, the oncology team initiates targeted external beam radiation to the affected radius to control local tumor growth and reduce further bone destruction. Beam radiation is delivered as part of the inpatient treatment plan to palliate symptoms and aid local disease control. Typical codes: DP071ZZ, DP072ZZ
A middle-aged patient with a recurrent soft-tissue sarcoma involving the forearm and encasing the ulna is scheduled for inpatient postoperative adjuvant therapy following limb-sparing resection; focused external beam radiation is planned to the ulna and adjacent tissues to decrease risk of local recurrence. The procedure is performed as a planned inpatient radiation course directed specifically at the ulna after surgical resection. Typical codes: DP072ZZ, DP074ZZ
A younger patient presents emergently with a rapidly bleeding, radiation-indicated metastatic lesion of the proximal radius causing refractory hemorrhage and local mass effect; after stabilization, high-energy external beam radiation is administered in the inpatient setting to achieve rapid hemostasis and tumor control. The urgency and need for deep tissue penetration guide selection of higher-energy photon or heavy particle beam therapy. Typical codes: DP072ZZ, DP074ZZ
