An important concept to remember with DDD is that treatment does not reverse any of the anatomic changes that occur, but helps manage the symptoms. With this condition, there is a similar process that is occuring, but at a different location on the vertebrae. The anatomical structure involved in DJD is the facet joint.

I agree with Sharon D. I work in an orthopedic specialist's office and I always use 715.36 for DJD of the knee (provided the physician doesn't stipulate whether it is primary or secondary). 715.96 is saying that is "unspecified whether generalized or localized", 715.36 says "localized." My line of reasoning is that if the physician has already told you in the documentation that the DJD is in the knee, then it is in fact specified as being "localized" to the knee, hence my decision to use 715.36.
If the DX states DJD Knee my co-worker uses the codes, 715.36 (local) I use 715.96 as unspecified.
I use 715.3x when the physician is talking about a specific joint (knee, etc) if they do not specify then I use 715.9x or 715.8x depending on their dictation.
