This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left fibula with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach. 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 0QRK4JZ

UNSPSC 85704202 Replacement of left fibula with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows little relevant procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure for orthopedic reconstruction; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve procurement of fibula replacements, surgical implants, or orthopedic devices. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out networks for municipal employees—none of which align with the purchase or supply of orthopedic implants or fibular prosthetics. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for acquisitions in its intended commodity domain.

The recent opportunities attributed to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. None of these solicitations contemplate the purchase or supply of orthopedic implants, fibular devices, or surgical reconstruction materials. Given the absence of actual market activity under the code's nominal scope, pursuit of opportunities tagged to this code should be informed by the disconnect between the code definition and the services currently being acquired.
