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 0QQD4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704830 Repair right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect material recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical networks for municipal employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these represent procurement of the procedure named in the code itself. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting repair services for specific joint conditions as line-item procurements.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include a state transportation department, county human resources and health divisions, a county juvenile probation department, and municipal retirement offices and health systems, indicating fragmentation across agencies with no repeat buyer pattern visible. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows no consolidated procurement signal and appears to be a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual scope of work being bought.
