UNSPSC 85704740: Removal of internal fixation device from right patella, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right 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 0QPD34Z

UNSPSC 85704740 Removal of internal fixation device from right patella, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices from patellae or orthopedic implant extraction. The mismatch suggests a data classification error rather than genuine procurement activity under this code's stated scope.

The sources show real state and local health and human services purchasing across multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — but these opportunities address administrative medical evaluation services, employee health benefits, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing, not orthopedic surgical procedures. No recent solicitations actually solicit removal of internal fixation devices or related implant management services under this code.
