Absorbable bone void filler made from a drug-eluting orthopedic matrix used to fill bony defects

This code represents a bioresorbable material, often a composite of bone-like substances and/or drug-eluting components, designed to fill bone defects or voids. It provides a scaffold for new bone growth and is eventually resorbed by the body. These materials are used to promote bone regeneration and structural integrity.

Use this code when an absorbable bone void filler, such as a synthetic bone graft substitute or a drug-impregnated matrix, is implanted into a bony defect. This typically occurs during orthopedic procedures like fracture repair, spinal fusion, or tumor resection where bone loss has occurred. Documentation should clearly specify the type of absorbable bone void filler used and its purpose.

• Ensure documentation specifies "absorbable" to differentiate from non-absorbable implants.
• Do not confuse with bone graft codes (e.g., allograft, autograft) as this describes a synthetic or composite matrix.
• Verify if the product is supplied by the facility and not separately billed by a vendor, as this code is for facility billing.
