This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SPK38Z

UNSPSC 85722043 Removal of spacer from right metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The three most-recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code describe occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for city employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are not actively using this Commodity code to describe actual purchasing activity in the current market.

No state and local contract opportunities directly soliciting orthopedic spacer removal or related metatarsal-tarsal joint procedures appear in the recent posting history. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local buyers are classifying such services under a different UNSPSC category, procuring them through established vendor relationships or healthcare plans rather than open solicitation, or whether the volume of standalone orthopedic procedure bidding at the state and local level does not justify regular use of this code classification.
