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 0PWMXJZ

UNSPSC 85695307 Revision of synthetic substitute in right carpal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The code's abstract title refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — revision of a synthetic wrist implant — yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pension-system disability medical evaluations, health-plan surgical carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic implant supply, revision procedures, or direct procurement of medical devices or surgical services under the code's stated definition. The mismatch signals either systematic miscoding in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health-services contracting rather than as a device-specific taxonomy entry.

The issuing bodies across the tagged opportunities are a mix of city retirement systems (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county detention services (Harris County), and county employee-benefits procurement (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code itself does not capture the substance of what is actually being bought — no recent opportunities seek orthopedic implants, revisions, or carpal procedures — the code should not be treated as a reliable signal for pursuing orthopedic device or surgical implant contracts. Vendors in that sector would find greater clarity monitoring orthopedic or surgical-supply codes rather than this Commodity entry.
