The anterior horn of the medial meniscus is attached to the anterior surface of the tibia well off the tibial plateau. The anterior fibers of the anterior cruciate attachment merge with the transverse ligament, which connects the anterior horns of the medial.
The front portion of the meniscus is referred to as the anterior horn, the back portion is the posterior horn, and the middle section is the body. Under the microscope, the meniscus is fibrocartilage that has strength and flexibility from collagen fiber.

ICD-10-CM Code for Complex tear of medial meniscus, current injury, right knee, initial encounter S83. 231A.
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.
A complex lateral meniscus tear can include a radial tear, a radial flap tear, a tear that is chewed up and macerated, or a root tear. In general, a simpler type tear would be one that is very small and trimmable or one that is torn at the meniscus attachment to the joint lining, which is easily repairable.
Tear of unspecified meniscus, current injury ICD-10-CM S83. 207A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
A medial meniscus tear is an injury to the meniscus (cartilage tissue) that is located on the inside (inner aspect) of the knee. Injuries to the medial meniscus are more common than lateral meniscus injuries and may result in pain, stiffness, swelling, locking, catching, or buckling.
When coding for meniscal tears, you'll either use the S codes for acute injuries, or the M codes for chronic ones. S codes encompass S83. 20-S83. 289, and the M codes fall under M23.
S83. 242A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S83. 242A became effective on October 1, 2021.
An arthroscopic meniscectomy is a procedure to remove some or all of a meniscus from the tibio-femoral joint of the knee using arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery. The procedure can be a complete meniscectomy where the meniscus and the meniscal rim is removed or partial where only a section of the meniscus is removed.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M23.211 and a single ICD9 code, 717.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
