ICD-10-CM Code for Prepatellar bursitis, right knee M70. 41.
Knee bursae Knee bursitis is inflammation or irritation of one or more of the bursae in your knee. Knee bursitis is inflammation of a small fluid-filled sac (bursa) situated near your knee joint. Bursae reduce friction and cushion pressure points between your bones and the tendons, muscles and skin near your joints.
Suprapatellar bursa is located between the distal femur (leg bone) and the quadriceps tendon. It permits free movement of the quadriceps tendon over the distal femur. It allows for full flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) of the knee. It can be irritated by a direct blow or from repeated stress or motions.
Bursa, and bursas or bursae for the plural form, is an important lubricated fluid-filled thin sac located between bone and surrounding soft tissue, bones and tendons, and/or muscles around joints, and are useful to the human body by reducing tension and negative effects of wear-and-tear at points of friction and ...
Incision and drainage of the prepatellar bursa usually is performed when symptoms of septic bursitis have not improved significantly within 36-48 hours. Surgical removal of the bursa (ie, bursectomy) may be necessary for chronic or recurrent prepatellar bursitis.
The knee bursa is located on the inside of each knee, between the three hamstring muscle tendons and the shinbone.

The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Septic bursitis is a bursa that becomes infected with bacteria. This is a rare condition. Treatment may include antibiotics, repeated aspiration of the inflamed fluid, or surgical drainage and removal of the infected bursa sac (bursectomy). Infected prepatellar bursitis with bursectomy and I&D.
An incision was made centered in the midline and the darkened eschar skin was removed . The bursa was excised and culture and sensitivity was carried out on the grossly purulent material. The culture confirmed the presence of Staphylococcus. Once the bursa was removed, the area was packed and wrapped.
Prepatellar bursitis (also known as beat knee, carpet layer's knee, coal miner's knee, housemaid's knee, rug cutter's knee, or nun's knee) is an inflammation of the prepatellar bursa at the front of the knee. It is marked by swelling at the knee, which can be tender to the touch but which does not restrict the knee's range of motion.
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 M70.40 and a single ICD9 code, 726.65 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
The root operation “excision” takes out some or all of a body part without replacement (some of a body part).
The root operation “resection” takes out some all of a body part without replacement (all of a body part…no portion of the organ left behind).
