0SPC08Z

Removal of Spacer from Right Knee Joint, Open Approach

V44.0 O.R. procedure Procedure cluster member MDC 08 Reassigned in V44.0

An operating room procedure. An O.R. procedure drives DRG assignment on its own, so it can change the MDC and MS-DRG regardless of the principal diagnosis. It is also part of a procedure cluster, meaning certain combinations group differently than this code does alone.

Assigns to MDC 08

One MDC, with the conditional pathways below listed separately.

MDC 08 Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue
Wound Debridement or Skin Graft Except Hand for Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders
MDC 24 Multiple Significant Trauma
Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma
Applies only when the stay qualifies as multiple significant trauma
