UNSPSC 85724111: Removal of external fixation device from left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SPG45Z

UNSPSC 85724111 Removal of external fixation device from left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated clinical procedure scope. The source contains six recent state and local contract opportunities, none of which solicit orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal services. Instead, the opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara). The code's nominal definition—a specific surgical intervention—does not align with the health-system procurement activity currently tagged under it in the source, suggesting either a coding classification error or that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local surgical purchasing patterns in the recent data available.

No representative solicitations for orthopedic surgery, external fixation removal, or related device procurement appear in the most recent state and local contract opportunities block. Across the six opportunities shown, issuing bodies include state transportation agencies, city retirement offices, county health systems, county probation departments, and county human resources divisions, operating in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The volume and diversity of health-system purchasing activity in the source suggests state and local agencies do procure medical services and staffing at scale, but the code as presently applied does not capture orthopedic or surgical procedure demand visible in recent notices.
