About 0SQD4ZZ
0SQD4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left knee joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SQD0ZZ (open), 0SQD3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0SQDXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 400 (Knee Procedures with Principal Diagnosis of Infection), DRG 488 (Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection with CC/MCC), DRG 489 (Knee Procedures without Principal Diagnosis of Infection without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R.
