Knee infections happen when harmful bacteria contaminates the fluid that lubricates your knee joint. While most anyone can develop one, you hold a higher risk if you have an inflammatory condition like arthritis, a traumatic injury involving your knee, or a compromised immune system.

Knee is one of the biggest joint in body which joints thigh bone (femur) and lower leg joint (tibia). The knee cap is called patella. Tendons (flexible connective tissue) and ligaments (inelastic collagen tissue) help joining these bones and make the knee joint.
There may be need of radiological tests (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) or arthrocentesis (lab analysis of knee joint fluid) for further evaluation to check for infections or injury to tendon or ligament.
Knee pain can be mild, moderate or severe. The reasons for pain can vary such as injury, overuse, infection and inflammation. Sometimes there may be swelling and redness depends on the cause. We need to visit doctor as per the severity and as per how long the pain lasts.
Knee pain is a symptom; hence follow ICD coding guideline of not coding signs and symptoms when there is a definitive diagnosis made.
Review the entire medical record thoroughly especially physical examination to determine the correct anatomical site of pain. Do not code unspecified knee pain if there is any site specification mentioned in the record.
Hoffa’s syndrome is not coded as it is mentioned as “possible”.
The diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) poses a significant challenge since real evidence-based guidelines to aid clinicians in choosing the most accurate diagnostic strategy are lacking. Despite a significant amount of basic and clinical research in this field, many questions pertaining to the definition of infection as well as diagnosis and management of these infections remains unanswered. Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of PJI have been proposed by a number of organizations, including the 2021 European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) criteria, the 2018 International Consensus Meeting (ICM) criteria, the 2013 ICM criteria, the 2013 Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines (IDSA), and the 2011 Infection Society (MSIS) criteria. These guidelines stress the importance of using a multi-disciplinary approach to aid in the diagnosis of PJI, requiring supporting evidence from clinical examination, laboratory results, microbiological culture identification, histological interpretation, and intraoperative findings. These guidelines are meant to serve as an educational tool designed to assist practitioners in providing appropriate care for patients. It is anticipated that consideration of these guidelines may help reduce morbidity, mortality and the costs associated with PJI.
When suspected prosthetic joint infection is not clinically apparent, Sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein (CRP) tests should be performed.
The classification scheme useful for identification of PJI is simply based on the time to infection, classified as early, delayed, or late onset. Early onset PJI occurs less than three months after the last surgery. These infections are most commonly initiated at the time of operation, through intraoperative contamination, and are usually caused by relatively virulent microorganisms. Delayed onset PJI occurs after 3 months but before 12 or 24 months. Different authors have used different time points to differentiate between delayed and late onset PJIs. However, regardless of the cutoff used, the common theme is that these infections are also typically acquired at the time of surgery but are caused by less virulent microorganisms such that the overt presentation of infections does not occur within the first 3 months. Late onset PJI, usually occurs 12-24 months after surgery and is likely due to a hematogenous infection but may also be due to extremely indolent infection initiated at the time of surgery.
The pathogenesis of prosthetic joint infections by pathogens is dependent on the formation of biofilm. Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms embedded in an extracellular matrix that forms on surfaces. Pathogens will adhere to orthopedic hardware, and proliferate with elaboration of exopolysaccharides known as glycocalyx, which after a certain period, will coalesce into biofilm. This biofilm microenvironment serves as a barrier that renders host defenses and antimicrobials less effective. Complicating matters further, pathogens hidden deep in the biofilm have characteristic indolent low metabolic rate which also prevent accurate culture identification. Together, S. epidermis, S. aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa make up almost 75% of the biofilms found in medical devices. S. aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis are the most common biofilm-forming bacteria.
It is estimated that 3,481,000 primary total knee and 572,000 primary total hip arthroplasties will be performed annually in the US by 2030. With the increase in prosthetic joint implantations, serious complications of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the hip and knee is also on the rise.
Cultures are more likely to be positive for early-onset prosthetic joint infection.
To determine the positive predictive values (PPVs) of ICD-9, ICD-10, and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)-based diagnostic coding algorithms to identify prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following knee arthroplasty (TKA) within the United States Veterans Health Administration.
We identified patients with: 1) hospital discharge ICD-9 or ICD-10 diagnosis of PJI, 2) ICD-9, ICD-10, or CPT procedure code for TKA prior to PJI diagnosis, 3) CPT code for knee X-ray within ±90 days of the PJI diagnosis, and 4) at least 1 CPT code for arthrocentesis, arthrotomy, blood culture, or microbiologic procedure within ±90 days of the PJI diagnosis date.
An algorithm consisting of an ICD-9 or ICD-10 PJI diagnosis following a TKA code combined with CPT codes for a knee X-ray and either a relevant surgical procedure or microbiologic culture yielded a PPV of 75.0% (ICD-9) and 85.0% (ICD-10), for confirmed PJI events and could be considered for use in future pharmacoepidemiologic studies.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
