I was always taught that you always code current tear (836.0/836.1) unless the surgeon specifically states that it is a degenerative tear (717.X series).
The anteriorcruciate ligament (ACL) is the more critical and is the most frequently involved in injury. The complex interplay between instability, torn menisci, athletic activities, muscle control, and cumulative joint trauma ultimately leads to a degenerative change in the knee.
Internal derangement of the knee is a mechanical disorder of the knee which interferes with normal joint motion and/or mobility. A fragment of soft tissue or bone that suddenly becomes interposed between the articular surfaces is the classic cause of internal derangement. The misplaced fragment can be radiolucent or radiopaque. The most frequent cause of locking is entrapment of the radiolucent meniscus.
In this situation, you probably have to use chronic injury-related codes unless the provider says otherwise.
If the note specifically states that the injury occurred 2 years ago then you would be ok or if the note specifically states that its a degenerative tear.
