This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right elbow joint, 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 0RWL38Z

UNSPSC 85712327 Revision of spacer in right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose stated description refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not align with that clinical scope. The recent opportunities in the source—independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—span administrative healthcare functions, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic joint procedures. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement of the specific procedure named in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies soliciting under records tagged to this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a county health system. Geographic activity appears in Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona, with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. However, because the actual solicitations do not match the code's stated scope—orthopedic joint revision—this code does not represent a reliable procurement category for vendors pursuing state and local medical device or surgical procedure contracting. Business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this UNSPSC designation.
