ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems Z48. 81.
An arthroscopic meniscectomy is a procedure to remove some or all of a meniscus from the tibio-femoral joint of the knee using arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery. The procedure can be a complete meniscectomy where the meniscus and the meniscal rim is removed or partial where only a section of the meniscus is removed.
Example 1—The surgeon performs and documents arthroscopic left lateral meniscectomy and arthroscopic tricompartmental chondroplasty and reports CPT code 29881.
Overview. Arthroscopic meniscectomy is an outpatient minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat a torn meniscus cartilage in the knee. The meniscus is often torn as a result of sport-related injury in athletic individuals. Only the torn segment of the meniscus is removed.
ICD-10: Z96. 651, Status (post), organ replacement, by artificial or mechanical device or prosthesis of, joint, knee-see presence of knee joint implant.
Status post (S/P) is a term used in medicine to refer to a treatment (often a surgical procedure), diagnosis or just an event, that a patient has experienced previously, for example, "status post cholecystectomy", "S/P vaginal delivery", etc.
ICD-10 code Z47. 89 for Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The Medial and Lateral Meniscectomy are crescent-shaped bands of thick, rubbery cartilage attached to the shinbone (tibia). They act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee. Meniscus tears can vary widely in size and severity.
Often a meniscus tear occurs with an injury to the ACL ligament. In this case, the surgery will repair the ligament and the meniscus. A meniscectomy is an arthroscopic procedure that removes the meniscus or trims the damaged meniscus tissue (also called a debridement).
Subtotal meniscectomy was defined as meniscectomy with 3 mm of the peripheral meniscus (25% of the total meniscus width) remaining. Resection to a greater degree was considered to be a total meniscectomy, and other resections were defined as partial meniscectomies.
