Some of the factors that can cause knee instability include strain, injury or tear of the ligaments supporting the knee joint. In some cases, knee instability may also be caused or worsened by certain conditions or people with some disorders may be at increased risk of knee instability. Ligament injuries are the commonest cause of knee instability.
Since pain may limit movement, it can cause stiffness in the knees, as can any ongoing injury. Knees become swollen when excess fluid builds up inside the knee due to an injury, overuse, or medical condition. This can cause sensations of tightness as well as pain.
Pain on the outer (or lateral) part of the knee can be caused by an injury. It may also be the result of inflammation in a band of tough fibrous tissue that runs down the outside of the thigh, and attaches to the front of the tibia (shin bone). Pain in this area may also be caused by arthritis.
There are three ways to approach knee pain diagnosis:
Chronic instability of knee, unspecified knee M23. 50 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 M23. 50 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Chronic instability of knee, left knee The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M23. 52 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M23.

Patellar instability occurs when the kneecap moves outside of this groove. There are two types of patellar instability. The first is known as a traumatic patellar dislocation. This is most often the result of an injury to the knee. In a patellar dislocation, the patella gets pushed completely out of the groove.
R26. 81 - Unsteadiness on feet. ICD-10-CM.
R26. 81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
An unsteady gait is an abnormality in walking that can be caused by diseases of or damage to the legs and feet (including the bones, joints, blood vessels, muscles, and other soft tissues) or to the nervous system that controls the movements necessary for walking.
The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first.

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 M25.362 and a single ICD9 code, 718.86 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
