• synthetic substitute. For the qualifier (character 7), the choices include cemented, uncemented, or no qualifier. For example, a left total hip arthroplasty using a cemented stem and a metal-on-plastic articulating surface is classified to code 0SRB029.
Review the operative report thoroughly for appropriate code assignment. In a partial hip replacement (81.52), also called a hemiarthroplasty, only the femoral head is replaced and the acetabulum is left in place. A partial hip replacement is done mainly to repair fractured hips.
For the qualifier (character 7), the choices include cemented, uncemented, or no qualifier. For example, a left total hip arthroplasty using a cemented stem and a metal-on-plastic articulating surface is classified to code 0SRB029. Replacement includes taking out the body part (eg, hip joint).
Physicians often use the terms “arthroplasty” and “replacement” interchangeably. Arthroplasty is simply defined as the repair of a joint. There are different ICD-9-CM codes for arthroplasty if only a hip repair was performed. To distinguish whether a hip arthroplasty truly is a hip replacement, look for a prosthetic implant.

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) remains the gold standard acetabular bearing material for hip arthroplasty. Its successful performance has shown consistent results and survivorship in total hip replacement (THR) above 85% after 15 years, with different patients, surgeons, or designs.

Polyethylene plastic: a Carbon-Hydrogen molecule. Polyethylene is made up of ethylene molecules with 2 carbon and 4 hydrogen atoms.
Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced in the late 1990s with the intention of reducing wear and debris-induced osteolysis following joint arthroplasty 3. HXLPE is developed by exposing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) to gamma radiation 3.
Aftercare following joint replacement surgery 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z47. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z47.

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes For this study, CPT 27130 was used to identify primary THA, while CPT 27132 was used to identify conversion THA.
The acetabulum is the "socket" of the "ball-and-socket" hip joint. In a healthy hip, the ball fits securely inside the socket and rotates easily within the smooth cartilage lining.
CPT code 27125 is described as a “Hemiarthroplasty, hip, partial (eg, femoral stem prosthesis, bipolar arthroplasty).” It is to be used for hip reconstruction procedures that are generally elective.
Since they were first used in 1970, ceramic-on-ceramic hip implants have been considered by many orthopedic experts the best option for hip prostheses, in terms of quality and durability. Ceramic-on-ceramic hip implants have lower rates of bone deterioration, loosening or dislocation and, ultimately, revision.
Background: Polyethylene (PE) liner and femoral head exchange is commonly used to treat periprosthetic osteolysis associated with PE wear after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
0SRA07Z is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with autologous tissue substitute, open approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
A Removal procedure is coded for taking out the device used in a previous replacement procedure. The body part may have been taken out or replaced, or may be taken out, physically eradicated, or rendered nonfunctional during the Replacement procedure.
releasing yearly updates. These 2021 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.
The procedure code 0SRA07Z is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the lower joints body system, classified under the replacement operation. The applicable bodypart is hip joint, acetabular surface, right.
In a total hip replacement (ICD-9-CM code 81.51) , the femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem, which is placed into the center of the femur, and a metal or ceramic ball. The “socket” part of the acetabulum is removed and replaced with a metal socket. A plastic, ceramic, or metal spacer (also called a liner or insert) is placed between the new femoral head and socket to allow for a smooth surface.
A partial hip replacement is done mainly to repair fractured hips.
The typical life span of a hip prosthesis is 10 to 15 years.
Hip replacement surgery involves removing the diseased hip joint and replacing it with artificial prosthetic components. Conditions that may damage the hip, necessitating a hip replacement, include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, hip fracture, avascular necrosis/osteonecrosis, a bone tumor, and childhood hip disease.
Common complications that may occur after a joint replacement surgery include venous thrombosis (category 453), pulmonary embolism (415.11), incision site infection (998.59), intraoperative fracture (998.89 plus an additional code to describe the type and site of the fracture), dislocation of prosthesis (996.42), loosening of prosthesis (996.41), breakage of prosthesis (996.43), periprosthetic fracture around prosthetic joint (996.44), change in leg length, joint stiffness, and daily wear and tear.
Replacement includes taking out the body part (eg, hip joint). According to the ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, “Components of a procedure specified in the root operation definition and explanation are not coded separately. Procedural steps necessary to reach the operative site and close the operative site, including anastomosis of a tubular body part, are also not coded separately. Example: Resection of a joint as part of a joint replacement procedure is included in the root operation definition of Replacement and is not coded separately” (2013, page 5).
