This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpocarpal 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 0RHT35Z

UNSPSC 85713918 Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no orthopedic surgical devices, external fixation hardware, or percutaneous joint procedures. The code's nominal scope concerns a specific procedural intervention on the hand, whereas the solicitations address healthcare administration, staffing, benefits design, and surveillance services with no device procurement component.

The geographic and issuing-body mix reflects general state and local healthcare and benefits administration activity rather than orthopedic device purchasing. Recent opportunities originate from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). No recent state or local solicitations for external fixation devices, orthopedic hardware, or hand surgery-related procurement appear in the source. The code shows negligible relevant recent activity and appears to be a data-quality mismatch rather than an active procurement category in state and local markets.
