Additional Info
- The International Cartilage Repair Society has set up an arthroscopic grading system by which cartilage defects can be ranked:
- grade 0: (normal) healthy cartilage
- grade 1: the cartilage has a soft spot, blisters, or superficial wear
- grade 2: minor tears of less than one-half the thickness of the cartilage layer
- grade 3: lesions have deep crevices of more than one-half the thickness of the cartilage layer
- grade 4: the cartilage tear is full thickness and exposes the underlying (subchondral) bone
Template:Discussion Is the grading relevant for coding? IE do we only want to code over a certain grade? Ttenbergen 20:51, 2017 November 12 (CST)
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
(put links to likely candidates coded with this one, eg. a cause for a trauma.)
