Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.

| 2 | Body SystemK | Muscles |
| 3 | Root OperationX | Transfer Moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part |

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 6 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures: DRG 040, DRG 041, DRG 042
- MDC 08 — Soft Tissue Procedures: DRG 500, DRG 501, DRG 502
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
