| 2 | Body SystemR | Upper Joints |
| 3 | Root Operation9 | Drainage Taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part |

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)
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 03 — Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures: DRG 143, DRG 144, DRG 145
- MDC 08 — Biopsies of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue: DRG 477, DRG 478, DRG 479
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
