This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right knee 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 0SHC44Z

UNSPSC 85724221, Insertion of internal fixation device into right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension 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 Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—do not align with the specific orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code's UNSPSC definition. None of these solicitations address the procurement, supply, or installation of internal knee-joint fixation devices or related implantable orthopedic hardware.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are not using this Commodity code for its intended purpose. No identifiable opportunities for knee-joint internal fixation devices, orthopedic surgical implants, or related devices appear in the recent posting history. Business development professionals should not rely on this code as a signal of active orthopedic implant procurement at the state and local level.
