Four plica synovial folds are found in the knee, but only one seems to cause trouble. This structure is called the medial plica. The medial plica attaches to the lower end of the patella (kneecap) and runs sideways to attach to the lower end of the thighbone at the side of the knee joint closest to the other knee.
Other specified joint disorders, right knee M25. 861 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 M25. 861 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Internal Derangement of the Knee is a general term to describe a chronic or acute condition that is the result of an underlying condition, such as a partial tear in the meniscus, damage to the cartilage or to one or more of the ligaments of the knee (ACL, PCL, LCL or MCL).
ICD-10 code M25. 462 for Effusion, left knee is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
In ICD-10-PCS, arthroscopy goes to the root operation “inspection,” which is defined as visually and/or manually exploring a body part. Therefore, an arthroscopy of the right knee is classified to code 0SJC4ZZ, and arthroscopy of the left knee is classified to code 0SJD4ZZ. The fifth character identifies the approach.Feb 13, 2012
Your knee joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments and fluid. Muscles and tendons help the knee joint move. When any of these structures is hurt or diseased, you have knee problems. Knee problems can cause pain and difficulty walking.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code M67.51 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
The patient and family understand the possible risks and complications of the surgery to include, but not be limited to neurovascular compromise, infection, pain, stiffness, instability, arthritis, thrombophlebitis, weakness, continued problems, recurrence, death, and sepsis.
You can only bill plica removal when it is done in a separate compartment. In this case, since the doctor did a medial menisectomy, it would be bundled and not billable.
