ICD-10-PCS Root Operations Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part. Root operations involving cutting or separation only. Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part. Root operations that alter the diameter/route of a tubular body part.
Reduction of a displaced fracture is coded to the root operation Reposition and the application of a cast or splint in conjunction with the Reposition procedure is not coded separately.
This would be reported with ICD-10-PCS code 0J990ZZ (Drainage of buttock subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach).

One of those procedures is closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF). It is a surgical treatment to fix severely broken bones and is performed by an orthopedic surgeon. The procedure is used when a cast or splint is not sufficient for the fracture to heal properly.
Examples: Herniorrhaphy using mesh, free nerve graft, mitral valve ring annuloplasty, put a new acetabular liner in a previous hip replacement. The body part transferred remains connected to its vascular and nervous supply.
The restriction root operationRestriction is defined as partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part. The restriction root operation can be performed on an orifice that is natural or artificially created. The objective of the restriction procedure is to narrow the diameter of a tubular body part or orifice.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
