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 0RNRXZZ

UNSPSC 85713047 Release left carpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks for employee benefits, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which represent actual carpal joint surgical procedures or related orthopedic interventions. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the opportunities recorded suggests the code may be misapplied by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices rarely solicit carpal joint release procedures through competitive bidding; most such services likely flow through standing health plan networks, provider panels, or employee health benefits rather than direct procurement RFPs.

The issuing bodies tagged with this code include county health systems (Santa Clara), county human resources and pension offices (Collier County, Phoenix), state departments of transportation (Washington State), city pension boards (Phoenix), city human resources (Long Beach), county juvenile justice (Harris County), and county medical providers—a fragmented set spanning retirement systems, employee health benefits administration, occupational medicine programs, and inpatient youth detention care. No issuing body appears more than once. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations directly procures orthopedic surgical procedures; the code shows no relevant recent procurement volume worth pursuing under its stated definition.
