UNSPSC 85724243: Fusion of left 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 0SGD4ZZ

UNSPSC 85724243 Fusion of left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The source contains no recent opportunities matching orthopedic surgical procedures, medical devices, implants, or related clinical services. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a specific knee fusion surgical technique.

The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement activity across six recent opportunities posted by Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this code's use at the state and local level has drifted substantially from its clinical procedure definition. Given the absence of any recent opportunities for knee fusion procedures, implants, surgical instruments, or related clinical services, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes in the state and local market.
