UNSPSC 85704705: Revision of internal fixation device in left patella, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left patella, percutaneous 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 0QWF34Z

UNSPSC 85704705 Revision of internal fixation device in left patella, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under it cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated scope of orthopedic device revision. The mismatch suggests that this code either has been misapplied to health-care and benefits-administration services that do not involve the specific procedure named, or it sees no procurement activity that matches its intended definition.

Without a set of opportunities that actually fit the code's nominal scope, there is no reliable basis to characterize the mix of issuing bodies, geographic spread, or representative recent work. State and local procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code for any health professional staffing, medical benefits management, or occupational health services before pursuing opportunities listed under this code, as the recent postings do not support procurement activity in orthopedic surgical device revision.
