M17.0ICD-10 code M17. 0 for Bilateral primary osteoarthritis of knee is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
Stage 4 OA is considered severe. People in stage 4 OA of the knee experience great pain and discomfort when they walk or move the joint. That's because the joint space between bones is dramatically reduced. The cartilage is almost completely gone, leaving the joint stiff and possibly immobile.
Osteoarthritis can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary osteoarthritis has no known cause. Secondary osteoarthritis is caused by another disease, infection, injury, or deformity. Osteoarthritis starts with the breakdown of cartilage in the joint.
A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage.
Gonarthrosis is most frequently defined as changes involving articular cartilage damage, abnormal bone formation, reactive changes in synovial membrane and pathologic synovial fluid.
What Is Arthrosis? Arthrosis is the other name for osteoarthritis. This is the most frequently diagnosed form of arthritis. Arthrosis occurs due to wear and tear of the cartilage at the joints. It usually happens because of aging or intense use of the joints during sports, exercise or other activities.
Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It is a degenerative,"wear-and-tear" type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, although it may occur in younger people, too. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away.
Unilateral primary osteoarthritis, left knee M17. 12 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 M17. 12 became effective on October 1, 2021.

The ICD code M17 is used to code Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone. The most common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. Initially, symptoms may occur only following exercise, but over time may become constant.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code M17 is a non-billable code.
Unlike other types of arthritis, only the joints are typically affected. The formation of hard nobs at the middle finger joints (known as Bouchard's nodes ) and at the farther away finger joint (known as Heberden's node) are a common feature of OA in the hands.
The most commonly involved joints are those near the ends of the fingers, at the base of the thumb, neck, lower back, knees, and hips. Joints on one side of the body are often more affected than those on the other. Usually the problems come on over years. It can affect work and normal daily activities.
Initially, symptoms may occur only following exercise, but over time may become constant. Other symptoms may include joint swelling, decreased range of motion, and when the back is affected weakness or numbness of the arms and legs.
