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.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body SystemL | Tendons |
| 3 | Root OperationW | Revision Correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device |
| 4 | Body PartX | Upper Tendon |
| 5 | Approach3 | Percutaneous |
| 6 | DeviceK | Nonautologous Tissue Substitute |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 6 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 08 — Soft Tissue Procedures: DRG 500, DRG 501, DRG 502
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
