0QSB3CZICD-10-PCS Code: Reposition Right Lower Femur with Ring External Fixation Device, Percutaneous Approach

Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 7 MS-DRGs:

• MDC 08 — Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint: DRG 480, DRG 481, DRG 482
• MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
• MDC 24 — Limb Reattachment, Hip and Femur Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 956

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
