ICD-10-CM Code M23.25 Derangement of posterior horn of lateral meniscus due to old tear or injury. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code M23.25 is a non-billable code.

To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of M23.25 that describes the diagnosis 'derang of posterior horn of lat mensc due to old tear/inj' in more detail. The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code M23.25.
The posterior horn of the medial meniscus is the posterior third of the medial meniscus. It is located in the back of the knee. It is the thickest portion and absorbs the most force, so therefore it provides the most stability to the knee and is the most important portion of the medial meniscus.
In this surgery, many times parts of the meniscus are cut out. When this happens or when the meniscus gets smaller due to wear and tear, the knee meniscus displaces outside the joint (called displaced on an MRI report), robbing the knee of this valuable shock absorber and causing more trauma to the joint surfaces.
The posterior horn of the lateral meniscus includes the main body of the lateral meniscus, posterior to the popliteus tendon, and its root attachment on the posterior aspect of the tibia. The lateral meniscus is even more important than the medial meniscus for shock absorption.

Posterior Horn Meniscal Tears In medical terms this means that of the two meniscus in the knee (lateral vs medial), the medial meniscus is more likely to tear. Further to this, the tear is more likely to occur near the posterior horn - which is located at the back of the knee.
A flap tear is a type of meniscal tear that commonly comprises of a displaced flap fragment. horizontal tears can give rise to flap tears, which can be classified as superior or inferior when displaced. Superior flaps arise from the superior surface of the meniscus and inferior flaps from the inferior surface.
Gray Horns The posterior horn is responsible for sensory processing. The anterior horn sends out motor signals to the skeletal muscles. The lateral horn, which is only found in the thoracic, upper lumbar, and sacral regions, is the central component of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
The anterior horn of the lateral meniscus blends into the attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament, whereas the posterior horn attaches just behind the intercondylar eminence, often blending into the posterior aspect of the ACL. There is no attachment of the lateral meniscus to the LCL.
What is a lateral meniscus injury? A lateral meniscus injury occurs when the semi-circular cartilage tears, frays or degenerates due to wear and tear. Lateral meniscus injuries are not uncommon and most frequently occur from a traumatic injury, or a forced twisting motion in the knee.

S83. 241 - Other tear of medial meniscus, current injury, right knee. ICD-10-CM.
Tear of meniscus, current injury ICD-10-CM S83. 241A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Treatment for a meniscus tear will depend on its size, what kind it is, and where it's located within the cartilage. Most likely, your doctor will recommend that you rest, use pain relievers, and apply ice to you knee to keep the swelling down. They may also suggest physical therapy.
The majority of meniscus tears cannot scar in and heal on their own as a result of poor blood supply to the inner parts of the meniscus tissue. As a result, some patients continue to have symptoms that interfere with their desired activities despite initial non-operative treatment.
Conclusions: In patients with knee osteoarthritis arthroscopic knee surgery with meniscectomy is associated with a three fold increase in the risk for future knee replacement surgery.
An untreated meniscus tear can result in the frayed edge getting caught in the joint, causing pain and swelling. It can also result in long term knee problems such as arthritis and other soft tissue damage.
