The ICD-10-PCS procedure code for this procedure is 0TY00Z0. The fourth character (0) identifies the body part as the right kidney and the fifth character (0) identifies the approach or technique used to reach the operative site as open.

Distal Tibial Fractures This is a fracture in the metaphysis, the part of tibia before it reaches its widest point. These fractures are usually transverse (across) or oblique (slanted) breaks in the bone. Distal tibial metaphyseal fractures usually heal well after setting them without surgery and applying a cast.
ORIF utilizes open surgery to set the fracture followed by the use of plates, pins, and screws to hold the bones in place. THA involves surgically removing both the femoral head and acetabular cartilage, and replacing them with an artificial femoral head and acetabular cup.

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a type of surgery used to stabilize and heal a broken bone. You might need this procedure to treat your broken ankle. Three bones make up the ankle joint. These are the tibia (shinbone), the fibula (the smaller bone in your leg), and the talus (a bone in your foot).
External. Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.
The “open reduction” starts with the surgeon using an incision to access the bone and realign it, so it heals properly. Next, the “internal fixation” involves piecing the bone fragments together with hardware such as pins, plates, rods, screws, or a combination of these.
