Arthrodesis refers to the fusion of two or more bones in a joint. In this process, the diseased cartilage is removed, the bone ends are cut off, and the two bone ends are fused into one solid bone with metal internal fixation.
Code +22853 is an add–on code and must be reported with an appropriate primary procedure, such as 22548–22586 (Anterior or anterolateral approach technique arthrodesis procedures on the spine [vertebral column]), but there are many other codes that can be reported as a primary code.
Arthrodesis is a surgical procedure that fuses the bones in a joint so they don't move. This is common for people who have arthritis — a condition where moving joints can be painful. Arthrodesis in the wrist stabilizes the joint. It fuses the long bone in your forearm to the smaller bones in your wrist.

Two codes are assigned for the anterior spinal fusion, as two levels of the spine were fused (L4-L5 and L5-S1). The codes for the anterior spinal fusion are 0SG00AJ (L4-L5) and 0SG30AJ (L5-S1). Two codes are also assigned for the posterior spinal fusion, 0SG0071 (L4-L5) and 0SG3071 (L5-S1).

The code for this procedure is 0QB20ZZ, with the body part character (fourth character) being 2 for right pelvic bone. The iliac crest does not have its own distinct body part value in ICD-10-PCS, with the ICD-10-PCS Body Part Key indicating that the pelvic bone is the closest proximal branch.
If a mixture of autologous and nonautologous bone graft (with or without biological or synthetic extenders or binders) is used, the procedure is coded with device value Autologous Tissue Substitute (7)
The codes for the anterior spinal fusion are 0SG00AJ (L4-L5) and 0SG30AJ (L5-S1) . Two codes are also assigned for the posterior spinal fusion, 0SG0071 (L4-L5) and 0SG3071 (L5-S1) . Codes 0SB20ZZ and 0SB40ZZ are also assigned for the discectomy performed at two different levels of the spine. Lastly, code 0QB20ZZ is assigned for the harvesting of the right iliac crest bone graft.
If an interbody fusion device is used (alone or containing other material like bone graft), the procedure is coded with the device value Interbody Fusion Device (A)
The implementation of ICD-10-PCS has enhanced the skills of coding professionals as it contains many unique features that provide an opportunity to accurately reflect the complexity of the procedures being performed. The assignment of ICD-9-CM procedure codes for spinal fusions often challenged coding professionals, and this has not changed with the transition to ICD-10-PCS. As with the coding of other complex surgical procedures, coding professionals struggle with identifying which portion of the spinal fusion procedure to code or not to code.
As with Examples #1 and #2, the segmental instrumentation is included in the spinal fusion and is not coded separately. The lumbar decompression L4-L5 and L5-S1 bilateral foraminotomies and L3 decompression laminectomy are also considered to be integral to the spinal fusion and not coded separately.

For example, a surgeon documents bilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty at vertebral segments T12 and L1. Proper coding is 22510, 22512.
When reporting vertebroplasty, code selection depends on the location and number of vertebral bodies treated. Choose a single “initial level” code based on the location of the first vertebral body treated:
Percutaneous vertebroplasty codes include the two procedures most commonly performed during the same session—imaging guidance and bone biopsy (e.g., Biopsy, bone, trocark or needle; deep (eg, vertebral body, femur)—and therefore you may not code seperately for them at the same level.
