About 0SWDX8Z
0SWDX8Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left knee joint using an external approach with spacer. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0SW0X8Z (lumbar vertebral joint), 0SW3X8Z (lumbosacral joint), 0SW5X8Z (sacrococcygeal joint), 0SW6X8Z (coccygeal joint), 0SW7X8Z (right sacroiliac joint), 0SW8X8Z (left sacroiliac joint) and 13 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SWD08Z (open), 0SWD38Z (percutaneous) and 0SWD48Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0SWDX0Z (drainage device), 0SWDX3Z (infusion device), 0SWDX4Z (internal fixation device), 0SWDX5Z (external fixation device), 0SWDX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SWDXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
