Internal derangement of the knee (IDK) is a chronic condition that interferes with normal knee joint function. Several things can cause it, such as injured ligaments, loose pieces of bone or cartilage in the knee joint, or a torn meniscus. Over time, it can cause pain, instability, and limited knee flexibility.
ICD-10 code: M23. 92 Internal derangement of knee, unspecified: Posterior cruciate ligament or posterior horn of medial meniscus.
S80. 911A - Unspecified superficial injury of right knee [initial encounter] | ICD-10-CM.
A condition in which the cartilage disc in the temporomandibular joint lies in front of its proper position. Mentioned in: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.
The most common causes of internal derangement of the knee include injured ligaments, loose fragments of bone or cartilage, or even a torn meniscus. Internal derangement of the knee does not include chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, discoid meniscus, and meniscus cysts.
Causes of internal derangement of the knee include: Injury. Injuries that cause knee derangement include a tear in ligaments like the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a fracture, or a torn meniscus. Bursitis and tendonitis can also result from injury and contribute to IDK.
The term “internal derangements” refers to conditions with the articular disc displaced from its original position on the mandibular condyle. There are several specific conditions, differentiated by the position of the articular disc during mandibular movement and nonmovement.

This helps to drain excess blood from the knee, reducing swelling.
Internal derangement is caused by loss of the structure and function of the intra-articular tissues, leading to a failure in the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joint. This tissue failure is usually caused by joint overload, leading to an inflammatory/degenerative arthropathy of the temporomandibular joint.
Positive physical examination tests and findings of acute effusion suggest internal derangement. An abnormal McMurray or Thessaly test strongly suggests meniscal injury, whereas a normal Thessaly test may rule out meniscal injury.
Loose bodies often cause symptoms such as: Intermittent locking of the joints (making it hard to bend or extend your knee) Limitation of motion or trouble walking. Knee pain or the feeling of something moving in your knee.

For an initial encounter for a current peripheral tear of the medical meniscus of the left knee, coders would report S83.222A. If coders are reporting an old tear, they are directed to “see Derangement, knee, meniscus, due to old tear.”. These codes specify the portion of the meniscus that is torn, Pollard says.
The dash indicates that additional characters are needed to complete the code, Young-Charles says. In the case of meniscus tears, the codes further specify laterality and encounter, two details not required in ICD-9-CM.
Chapter 13 is going to include all of the diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. These codes begin with the letter M. These tend to be chronic and recurrent conditions, Pollard says.
If the ACL and meniscus tears are traumatic, and the ACL is almost always traumatic, then you would use the S with an A at the end since "difinitive" treatment is still being performed. After the surgery the A would switch to D. There is no set time limit for definitive treatment. A.
