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 0QQJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703232 Repair right fibula, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical repair of a specific bone fracture using an open surgical technique — a clinical procedure rather than a procurable good or service. The five recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which constitute orthopedic surgical repair or related medical device procurement. This mismatch indicates either systematic misclassification in the underlying procurement database or that the code does not accurately reflect what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this taxonomy entry.

Without representative opportunities in orthopedic surgical repair, medical devices, surgical supplies, or related clinical procurement, no issuing-body pattern, geographic concentration, or recent contract activity can be credibly characterized under this code. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices responsible for healthcare contracting — county health systems, municipal hospitals, state Medicaid programs, or corrections departments managing inmate medical services — actually use this code to tag orthopedic or surgical services. If activity does exist, it is not surfacing in recent public notices.
