This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left tarsal, open 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 0QHM04Z

UNSPSC 85705134 Insertion of internal fixation device into left tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span disability medical evaluations for public-safety pension systems, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation agencies, emergency and specialty medical services for juvenile detention, pharmacy benefit management for county health consortiums, and temporary health professional staffing for county health systems. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic devices, tarsal procedures, or surgical implants — the scope that the code's name describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal classification and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the product category it nominally represents.

State and local procurement activity under this code classification does not reflect demand for the medical device or procedure the code nominates. Business development professionals pursuing state and local opportunities in orthopedic implants, internal fixation devices, or related surgical hardware should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their product line rather than rely on this code as an activity signal.
