2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S82. 01: Osteochondral fracture of patella.
Osteochondritis dissecans, unspecified ankle and joints of foot. M93. 279 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Osteochondral lesions or osteochondritis dessicans can occur in any joint, but are most common in the knee and ankle. Such lesions are a tear or fracture in the cartilage covering one of the bones in a joint. The cartilage can be torn, crushed or damaged and, in rare cases, a cyst can form in the cartilage.
S72.432022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S72. 43: Fracture of medial condyle of femur.
An osteochondral defect refers to a focal area of damage that involves both the cartilage and a piece of underlying bone. These can occur from an acute traumatic injury to the knee or an underlying disorder of the bone.
Osteochondritis dissecans, right knee M93. 261 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
An osteochondral defect, also commonly known as osteochondritis dissecans, of the knee refers to a damage or injury to the smooth articular cartilage surrounding the knee joint and the bone underneath the cartilage.
The medial condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of femur, the other being the lateral condyle. The medial condyle is larger than the lateral (outer) condyle due to more weight bearing caused by the centre of mass being medial to the knee.
Overview. Osteochondritis dissecans (os-tee-o-kon-DRY-tis DIS-uh-kanz) is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint dies due to lack of blood flow. This bone and cartilage can then break loose, causing pain and possibly hindering joint motion.Aug 4, 2020
Subchondral insufficiency fractures are non-traumatic fractures that occur immediately below the cartilage of a joint. Although low bone density may be present concurrently, it is not the underlying cause of subchondral insufficiency fractures in the majority of patients.Jun 8, 2015

Articular Cartilage Defect#N#For an isolated "articular cartilage defect" the most specific code would be M94.8X _: Other Specified Disorders of Cartilage (of joint). Although this code set includes the knee (lower leg: 6) and does not appear to exclude the Patella, I think that for the Patella, M22.8 _ (Other Disorders of the Patella) would be more correct. M24.8 _: Other Specified Derangement of Joint NEC seems to me to be far less specific. This is the simplest answer to the question, but this can be only a part of the joint problem. Other concerns are the presence or absence of a Cartilaginous Loose Body (s) originating from the "defect," and/or is there other articular cartilage disease of the joint, such as Chondromalacia?#N#Chondromalacia is "softening" of the articular cartilage, with varying degrees of depth and severity of involvement. It can progress to the point of producing an articular cartilage defect all the way to the bone underneath. For all joints and areas other than the Patella, M94.2 _ _ would apply to the associated Chondromalacia, if present. For Patellar Chondromalacia, if associated with an articular cartilage defect, then M22.4 _ would apply. However, the presence of Chondromalacia in any joint or area does not necessarily mean there is an articular cartilage defect, but the two can occur simultaneously/concurrently.#N#An articular cartilage defect can also be associated with &/or the source of a Cartilaginous Loose Body in the affected joint. For the knee joint, the code for an associated Loose Body would be M23.4 _; but for other joints, it would be M24.1 _ _.#N#I would be careful about "Cartilage Derangement" as regards this problem/issue. As it applies to the knee joint, "Cartilage Derangement" applies to meniscal tears, not articular cartilage disorders.#N#I hope this is more helpful than confusing.#N#Respectfully submitted, Alan Pechacek, M.D.

M24.10 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other articular cartilage disorders, unspecified site. The code M24.10 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code M24.10 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like acquired defect of articular cartilage, articular cartilage disorder, articular cartilage disorder of multiple sites, articular cartilage disorder, excluding the knee, contusion of articular cartilage , defect of articular cartilage, etc.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like M24.10 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Osteochondral defect is a term for a localized defect of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. It is a morphologic finding that may be seen in various conditions and that produces a scalloped defect along the articular surface of the bone ( Fig 1 ).
Early AVN of the femoral condyle appears as an area of necrotic marrow that contains fatty marrow (or red marrow in patients <1 year old) outlined by a distinct rim of sclerosis. This rim, typically hypointense at MRI, is a reactive interface between necrotic and viable bone, often reaching the subchondral bone plate.
In osteoarthritis, such abnormalities include bone sclerosis (referred to as eburnation on radiographs), bone marrow edema-like lesions, and subchondral cystlike lesions ( Fig 19 ). The suffix “-like” is used because of a large spectrum of histologic changes responsible for these patterns of signal intensity alteration on MR images. Bone marrow edema-like lesion, the term adopted by the osteoarthritis research community, is defined as a noncystic subchondral area of ill-defined hyperintensity on fluid-sensitive sequences and hypointensity on T1-weighted images.
OCD is a focal idiopathic alteration of subchondral bone with a risk for instability and disruption of adjacent articular cartilage that may result in premature osteoarthritis ( 39, 40 ). This condition remains poorly understood and, despite years of collaborative research, there is no consensus regarding its etiology, natural history, or treatment ( 41, 42 ). The unique feature of this condition is that separation and detachment of the osteochondral fragment culminate the process that originally starts deep underneath the articular surface ( 43) and subsequently involves the articular cartilage at the peripheral border of the lesion: an “inside-out” mechanism. In comparison, acute traumatic osteochondral injury first affects articular cartilage and then, with sufficient magnitude of force, proceeds to disrupt subchondral bone ( 2 ): an “outside-in” mechanism.
Terminology. Several descriptive terms and abbreviations can be applied to focal abnormalities of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Osteochondral lesion is a general term that encompasses a variety of acute or chronic localized abnormalities of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
Several pathologic conditions may manifest as an osteochondral lesion of the knee, which is a localized abnormality of the subchondral marrow, subchondral bone, and articular cartilage.
Osteonecrosis of the knee can be encountered in epiphyseal or subarticular bone, where it is referred to as an AVN, and in the metadiaphysis, where the term bone infarction is often applied. Osteonecrosis tends to develop in adults, most commonly in the 4th and 5th decades of life ( 19 ).
Valid for Submission. SA is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of nondisplaced osteochondral fracture of left patella, initial encounter for closed fracture. The code is valid for the year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Feb 29, · For an isolated "articular cartilage defect" the most specific code would be MX _: Other Specified Disorders of Cartilage (of joint). Although this code set includes the knee (lower leg: 6) and does not appear to exclude the Patella, I think that for the Patella, M _ (Other Disorders of the Patella) would be more correct.
