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 0RWS05Z

UNSPSC 85713145 Revision of external fixation device in right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical device scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System) — involve health services administration, clinical staffing, and care coordination, not orthopedic surgical devices or hardware revisions. The code's assignment to these opportunities represents a taxonomy mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity in external fixation devices.

No state or local government has solicited procurement of external fixation device revisions under this or related device codes in the recent record. The mislabeling across multiple issuing bodies (city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation authorities, and county health systems) and geographies (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida) reflects an indexing error rather than market activity. Firms pursuing actual medical device sales, orthopedic hardware contracts, or hospital supply agreements should verify coding accuracy against recent RFPs and monitor issuing bodies' procurement portals directly rather than relying on this code's current data.
