UNSPSC 85712417: Removal of spacer from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right wrist 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 0RPN38Z

UNSPSC 85712417 Removal of spacer from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency and specialty hospital services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve wrist joint procedures or the clinical work the code names. The mismatch suggests systematic misclassification in the underlying procurement database rather than genuine state and local demand for this specific procedure code.

No state or local government solicitation in the source reflects procurement of removal-of-spacer wrist procedures or related clinical services aligned with the code's stated scope. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and flag the underlying data quality issue with the source system.
