vs saline placebo did not result in a meaningful improvement in symptoms or joint structure at 12 months in adults with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA). The findings of this study were published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA).
Treatments for Osteoarthritis of the Knee: What Works?
ICD-10 Code for Bilateral primary osteoarthritis of knee- M17. 0- Codify by AAPC.
There is no bilateral code for knee pain in ICD-10-CM; therefore, two codes are necessary to indicate both knees are affected. The fact that the knee pain is chronic is not addressed in the codes for knee pain. Codes in category G89 in ICD-10-CM are for Pain, not elsewhere classified, including acute and chronic pain.

ICD-10-CM Code for Unilateral primary osteoarthritis, left knee M17. 12.
Bilateral knee arthritis occurs when both knees are affected with OA. OA is a painful, degenerative condition that can reduce your mobility and make daily tasks difficult to manage. Early diagnosis and treatment may decrease joint damage and improve your overall quality of life.
ICD-10 code M19. 90 for Unspecified osteoarthritis, unspecified site is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .

Primary osteoarthritis is caused by the breakdown of cartilage, a rubbery material that eases the friction in your joints. It can happen in any joint but usually affects your fingers, thumbs, spine, hips, knees, or big toes.
Generalized osteoarthritis (code 715.0x or 715.8x) affects many joints, while localized osteoarthritis affects the joints of one site.
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease. If you have osteoporosis, your bones become weak and brittle, causing you to be at greater risk for bone fractures. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, which is inflammation and deterioration of your joints.
