This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 01N60ZZ

UNSPSC 85482632 Release radial nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve radial nerve release procedures or surgical case procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the clinical service it names.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that the code is used inconsistently across state and local procurement systems. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether they intend to solicit surgical procedures under this taxonomy or whether tagging reflects administrative error or deliberate use of the code for non-surgical medical administration and staffing services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Long Beach (California), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California) all appear in the recent record, but their opportunities do not address radial nerve release or related orthopedic surgery procurement. No recent state or local government solicitation in the source explicitly procures radial nerve release procedures as a billable clinical service.
