This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right shoulder joint, external 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 0RWJX4Z

UNSPSC 85711844 Revision of internal fixation device in right shoulder joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally designates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — revision of a shoulder joint implant — yet none of the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code actually procure that device or service. Instead, the opportunities reflect a substantial mismatch: they solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These are healthcare administration and staffing services, not orthopedic implants or revision surgery procurement.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — yet none of these opportunities materially relate to the shoulder joint fixation device described in the code's name. Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas account for the documented activity. This code assignment appears to reflect a data-entry error or misapplication of the taxonomy rather than a genuine procurement category for orthopedic implants in state and local government; firms pursuing shoulder joint devices and revision surgery supplies should verify the correct code classification before bidding and should not rely on this code to identify relevant opportunities.
