Let's start with the diagnosis coding for the initial surgery—a right total knee replacement for primary osteoarthritis. In ICD-9-CM, the diagnosis code is 715.16 (osteoarthrosis, localized, primary, lower leg). In ICD-10-CM, the code is M17. 11 (unilateral primary osteoarthritis, right knee).

Use Z codes to code for surgical aftercare. Z47. 89, Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare, and.
ICD-10 code Z47. 1 for Aftercare following joint replacement surgery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

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.
Encounter for other specified surgical aftercare The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z48. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z48.
For example, if a patient with severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip, underwent hip replacement and the current encounter/admission is for rehabilitation, report code Z47. 1, Aftercare following joint replacement surgery, as the first-listed or principal diagnosis.
Total knee replacement (TKR), also referred to as total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is one of the most common surgical procedures performed for patients with severe arthritis of the knee (Mahomed et al., 2005).

Knee replacement, also called knee arthroplasty or total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap.
Arthrofibrosis is a condition that may occur following trauma, surgery or joint replacement. It is often seen after procedures such as ACL reconstruction surgery or knee replacement. Arthrofibrosis is due to inflammation and proliferation of scar tissue. In particular, traumatic injury to the knee leads to the formation of internal scar tissue which is followed by shrinking and tightening of the joints knee capsule. In some cases, tendons outside the joint shrink and tighten, all of which lead to decreased motion of the joint.
Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is a non-invasive procedure which combines manual manipulation of a joint or the spine with an anesthetic. In patients who are unable to tolerate manual procedures due to pain, spasm, muscle contractures, or guarding may benefit from the use of an anesthetic agent prior to manipulation. Anesthetics may include intravenous general anesthesia or mild sedation, injection of an anesthetic to the affected area, oral medication such as muscle relaxants, inhaled anesthetics, or any other type of anesthetic medication therapy. Because the patient's protective reflex mechanism is, absent under anesthesia, manipulation using a combination of specific short lever manipulations, passive stretches, and specific articular and postural kinesthetic maneuvers in order to break up fibrous adhesions and scar tissue around the joint, spine and surrounding tissue is made less difficult. Manipulation procedures can be performed under either: general anesthesia, mild sedation, or local injection of an anesthetic agent to the affected area (Reid, 2002).

24 patients met the inclusion criteria; MUA was performed following a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), along with 2-3 days of continuous passive motion therapy and enhanced physiotherapy with home exercises upon discharge. The authors concluded the study supported previous findings that MUA for knee joint stiffness following a TKA improves ROM both in the short and long term. Limitations included small sample size, no comparison to a comparison group undergoing a different treatment or no treatment and retrospective design.
TMJ may spontaneously resolve or reoccur or respond to warm compresses, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs ) splint therapy or physical therapy. However, the available evidence for manipulation under anesthesia for temporomandibular joint syndrome is limited to small, uncontrolled studies with limited follow-up.
