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 0QSC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704129 Reposition left lower femur, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities indexed under this code do not reflect orthopedic or surgical services at all; instead, they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical directorship. This divergence indicates the code has been applied to general healthcare contracting by state and local issuers without regard to the specific surgical procedure the code names.

The opportunities that do appear come from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states — the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — but none involve the orthopedic surgical work the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being procured makes this code an unreliable signal for business development in orthopedic or surgical services. Firms pursuing healthcare contracting with state and local governments should monitor relevant healthcare and medical services codes rather than this surgical procedure designation.
