This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left finger phalangeal 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 0RPX35Z

UNSPSC 85713805 Removal of external fixation device from left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on a finger joint, yet the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation device removal. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either inactive or misapplied in recent state and local procurement systems.

The six opportunities in the source span multiple issuing bodies (city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county boards of commissioners) across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none address the surgical procedure the code is meant to describe. State and local procurement teams evaluating this code should verify with individual jurisdictions whether orthopedic surgical services are being procured separately under a different code classification or handled through medical staff employment rather than external contracts.
