Wondering what people are using for "chondral defect" , i.e. femoral, trochlear, humeral head, etc. Cartilage derangement code. For ICD-9, we were using 733.92. So I would do the chondromalacia, but not patellae... Thank you.

A condition called patellofemoral (PF) chondrosis describes cartilage loss on the surface of the kneecap. 2 Another term for the condition is chondromalacia, and its severity is graded on a scale from one to four.

Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative joint disease. It is the most common form of knee arthritis and can affect other joints as well. It is often associated with wear and tear related to aging, and gradually progresses over time. The breakdown of cartilage leads to pain and inflammation.
Gonarthrosis is most frequently defined as changes involving articular cartilage damage, abnormal bone formation, reactive changes in synovial membrane and pathologic synovial fluid. The site of initial damage remains unknown.
M17. 9 - Osteoarthritis of knee, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
The term patellofemoral pain syndrome refers to pain that occurs in the front of the knee. Sometimes called “runner's knee” because it is common in people who play sports, this disorder affects the area of the lower femur (thighbone) where the patella (kneecap) slides through a groove.
Patellofemoral (puh-tel-o-FEM-uh-rul) pain syndrome is pain at the front of your knee, around your kneecap (patella). Sometimes called "runner's knee," it's more common in people who participate in sports that involve running and jumping.
ICD-10 Code for Pain in unspecified knee- M25. 569- Codify by AAPC.
Often called "runner's knee", chondromalacia patella is a common condition causing pain in the kneecap. The patella is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage, which normally glides across the knee when the joint is bent.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M94. 21: Chondromalacia, shoulder.
Chondrosis is the cartilage breakdown of the soft connective tissues in your joints. It happens due to excessive use, damage, and age factor. Commonly regarded as osteoarthritis, it usually attacks knees, hands, hips, neck, and lower backbone.

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.

Chondromalacia patella (kneecap) Clinical Information. A degeneration of the articular cartilage of the patella, caused by a decrease in sulfated mucopolysaccharides in the ground substance. When accompanied by pain, it is sometimes considered part of or confused with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Applies To.
