The definition for the Fusion root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.” Fusion procedures are only performed on the joints, not the bones or vertebra.

The following is an example of how ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS compare in code assignment for Fusion procedures.
