Presence of right artificial hip joint The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96. 641 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Coding for the hip replacement surgery is 27132.
In a total hip replacement (also called total hip arthroplasty), the damaged bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with prosthetic components. The damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem that is placed into the hollow center of the femur.
There are two major surgical approach methods for performing a total hip replacement:the posterior approach (more common)the anterior approach (sometimes called the "mini-anterior approach" or "muscle-sparing hip replacement")
Presence of artificial hip joint, bilateral Z96. 643 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 Z96. 643 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Hip replacement, also called hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to address hip pain. The surgery replaces parts of the hip joint with artificial implants. The hip joint consists of a ball (at the top of the femur, also known as the thigh bone) and a socket (in the pelvis, also known as the hip bone).
In modern medical terms, arthroplasty refers to the surgical reconstruction or replacement of a joint. In other words, arthroplasty is the same thing as joint replacement surgery.
Arthroplasty, also called joint replacement, is surgery to replace a damaged joint with an artificial joint (made of metal, ceramic or plastic). Providers usually replace the entire joint (total joint replacement). Less often, they replace only the damaged part of the joint.
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint (called a prosthesis) may also be used. Various types of arthritis may affect the joints.
With anterior hip replacement, the surgeon makes a small incision near the front of the hip to allow for removal of damaged bone and cartilage, and implantation of an artificial hip without damaging surrounding muscle and tendons. Patients leave the hospital sooner than they would with some other approaches.
Unlike lateral (side of the hip) and posterior (back of the hip) approaches, the anterior approach uses an incision in the front of the hip while the patient is laying on their back. Below highlights what we know about the advantages and disadvantages of hip replacement surgery.
