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 0QN73ZZ

UNSPSC 85703809 Release left upper femur, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent solicitation record. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it—posted between July and September 2026—solicit health services administration, medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which involve percutaneous femoral release surgery or any direct surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the administrative and staffing services being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding in the issuing bodies' tagging systems or that this code is used as a catch-all health services category that does not reflect its nominal definition.

The six recent opportunities span municipal pension systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city employee health benefits (City of Long Beach), state transportation occupational health (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention healthcare (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county employee benefits administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and county health system staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent work includes the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and optional extensions). No recent procurement shows alignment with the code's stated surgical procedure scope, rendering this code unreliable for business development targeting in orthopedic surgery services.
