0QBG0ZZExcision of Right Tibia, Open Approach

0QBG0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right tibia using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, unspecified site, local excision of lesion or tissue of bone, tibia and fibula and other partial ostectomy, tibia and fibula, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (77.60, 77.67 and 77.87).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0QBG3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0QBG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
