What is the ICD 10 code for partial knee replacement? Presence of left artificial knee joint. Z96.652 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z96.652 became effective on October 1, 2018.
The goal of knee replacement is to make knee movement pain-free, smooth and stable. Although total knee replacement is a common procedure, people who have arthritic damage in only a single part, or compartment of the knee may be good candidates for partial knee replacement surgery.
Total knee replacement may be recommended for patients with bowed knee deformity, like that shown in this clinical photo. There are no absolute age or weight restrictions for total knee replacement surgery. Recommendations for surgery are based on a patient's pain and disability, not age.
Many people have knee replacements (also called knee arthroplasty) because they have osteoarthritis. This condition occurs when the cartilage (tissue) that cushions the knee joint wears away. As a result, bone rubs against bone, which is quite painful.

The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
0SRC0M9 is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of replacement of right knee joint with lateral unicondylar synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The procedure code 0SRC0M9 is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the lower joints body system, classified under the replacement operation. The applicable bodypart is knee joint, right.
A Removal procedure is coded for taking out the device used in a previous replacement procedure. The body part may have been taken out or replaced, or may be taken out, physically eradicated, or rendered nonfunctional during the Replacement procedure.
The correct root operation for this procedure in ICD-10-PCS is Revision as the objective of this procedure is to correct, to the extent possible, the dislodged or displaced lead. The Alphabetic Index main term is Revision of device in, Heart, which directs the coding professional to Table 02W. The ICD-10-PCS procedure code for this procedure is 02WA3MZ. Similar to ICD-9-CM, the ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is used for the revision of any cardiac lead. The fifth character for the approach does provide distinct values for the various approaches used to perform this procedure. In this case, the fifth character is assigned the value of 3, identifying a percutaneous approach.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic main term entry Revision, subterms knee replacement, total (all components) identifies code 00.80. The code descriptor for 00.80 is Revision of knee replacement, total (all components) and is categorized under 00.8, Other knee and hip procedures. ICD-9-CM also provides codes for revision of tibial component only (00.81), revision of femoral component only (00.82), and revision of patellar component only (00.83). If revision of two knee components is performed then the coding professional would code the appropriate two component codes. ICD-9-CM does not differentiate laterality. Therefore, the code would be the same if performed on the left knee rather than the right knee. No additional code is assigned to remove the original knee prosthesis.
The Index main term entry is Change device in, Trachea, which directs the coding professional to Table 0B2. The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0B21XFZ. The fourth character (1) identifies the body part as the trachea and the fifth character (X) identifies the approach or technique used to reach the operative site as external. The sixth character (F) identifies the device left at the operative site as a tracheostomy device.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term Reposition, subterms, cardiac pacemaker, electrodes identifies code 37.75. The code descriptor for 37.75 is Revision of leads (electrodes) and is categorized under category 37, Other operations on heart and pericardium. This code is used to revise leads for various types of pacemakers and defibrillators. Additionally, ICD-9-CM does not provide distinct codes for the various approaches used to perform this procedure.
In this article the Journal of AHIMA continues its 10-part Coding Notes series focusing on the 31 root operations in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS. This article will take a more in-depth look at the definitions and applications of the following three root operations:
The definition for the Revision root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Correcting, to the extent possible, a malfunctioning or displaced device.” The root operation Revision is coded when the objective of the procedure is to correct the position or function of a previously placed device, without taking the entire device out and putting in a whole new device in its place. Revision can include correcting a malfunctioning device by taking out and/or putting in part, but not all, of the device.
The fourth character (1) identifies the body part as the trachea and the fifth character (X) identifies the approach or technique used to reach the operative site as external. The sixth character (F) identifies the device left at the operative site as a tracheostomy device.
0SRC069 is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Replacement of Right Knee Joint with Oxidized Zirconium on Polyethylene Synthetic Substitute, Cemented, Open Approach . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

Replacement involves: Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part. The body part may have been taken out or replaced, or may be taken out, physically eradicated, or rendered nonfunctional during the Replacement procedure.
A removal procedure is coded for taking out a device that was used in a previous replacement procedure; in other words, a complete re-do. If the previously placed device is completely removed and replaced, both removal and replacement procedure codes would be assigned.
When a device is completely removed without replacing it, the root operation is removal. For example, the removal of a tracheostomy tube or feeding tube represents such a procedure. There is an exception to this rule that involves replacing a previously placed device. A removal procedure is coded for taking out a device that was used in a previous replacement procedure; in other words, a complete re-do. If the previously placed device is completely removed and replaced, both removal and replacement procedure codes would be assigned. By coding both procedures, the data is reported with the capacity to illustrate that the latter procedure is actually what is defined in ICD-9-CM as a revision.
Next, let’s take a look at a practical application. Consider a total knee replacement, which consists of the replacing of all three components of the knee joint (the tibial, femoral, and patellar components). The first time the total joint is replaced with an orthopedic device, the procedure would be coded to replacement based on the definition of the ICD-10-PCS root operation of the same name. The removal of the native joint would not be coded separately because it is considered to be inherent to the process to replace the joint.
In a replacement procedure, the objective is to replace the body part or a portion of the body part. This seems pretty straightforward. A caveat to remember is that if the code for replacement is assigned, the replacement code also captures the removal of the body part being replaced, and as such the removal or excision of the body part is not coded separately. A joint replacement, a bone graft, and a free skin graft are examples of replacement procedures.
Replacement: putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part. Removal: taking out or off a device from a body part. Revision: Correcting to the extent possible a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

Based on theory, it would seem that ICD-10-PCS root operations could be assigned correctly with relative ease; however, practical application sometimes intersects with coding scenarios that make one question the selection of the appropriate root operation.
