Patellofemoral syndrome of right knee. Right patellofemoral disorder. Right patellofemoral syndrome. ICD-10-CM M22.2X1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 562 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh with mcc.
Although patellofemoral syndrome (PFS) is a common condition and knee arthroscopy is widely performed, reporting diagnosis and treatment can be complicated. Accurate coding is essential for proper payment for procedures performed.
Other postural considerations are R29.3- Abnormal posture. But again, this is in the signs and symptoms chapter, and so it is not a definitive diagnosis. Also in this realm, the M-40 codes cover abnormalities of kyphosis and lordosis, and the M-41 codes cover scoliosis.

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.
Differential Diagnosis These include patellofemoral OA, Osgood Schlatter's disease, plica, bursitis (prepatellar or Hoffa's), Saphenous neuritis, quadriceps tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, or referred pain from hip or back.
Common causes of the condition are overuse of the knee joint and trauma, such as hitting the kneecap or falling on it. Although the condition occurs more commonly in athletes, anyone can have the symptoms. Some people have a kneecap that abnormally tracks or moves in the groove at the end of the femur.
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.
There is no bilateral code for knee pain in ICD-10-CM; therefore, two codes are necessary to indicate both knees are affected. The fact that the knee pain is chronic is not addressed in the codes for knee pain. Codes in category G89 in ICD-10-CM are for Pain, not elsewhere classified, including acute and chronic pain.
ICD-9 Code 719.49 -Pain in joint involving multiple sites- Codify by AAPC.
M22. 4 - Chondromalacia patellae | ICD-10-CM.
Common causes of the condition are overuse of the knee joint and trauma, such as hitting the kneecap or falling on it. Although the condition occurs more commonly in athletes, anyone can have the symptoms. Some people have a kneecap that abnormally tracks or moves in the groove at the end of the femur.

By definition it cannot last longer than 1 month, if it persists, a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (stress disorders, post-traumatic) is more appropriate.
M62.89 is in Other specified disorders of muscle , and could be a catch all (which means it’s more likely to be scrutinized). StrongPosture® is a systematized posture rehab protocol. Purchase the StrongPosture Program and take the latest training as an online course or hands-on seminar.
So for low back pain, M54.5 in ICD-10 (what was 724.2 in ICD-9) describes the symptom and can be a diagnosis. If there’s a lower cross syndrome, you know muscle and stress patterns to address passively (SMT and MT) as well as actively with StrongPosture® exercise. But Lower Cross is not a diagnosis. However, it’s a posture observation and can be a contributing component of a more definitive diagnosis. Even though it’s not coded, it should be documented properly so that when necessary you can try to justify longer term treatment.
These are real bio-mechanic issues that respond well to care, but for all ICD-10’s specificity, there aren’t good ICD-10 diagnosis for posture conditions.
On the other hand, you can roughly address posture as a somatic dysfunction, and support that with upper or lower cross as an observation:
