Default excision of intraarticular scar tissue of knee
Help please!

Pt had a previous total knee arthroplasty and now has intraarticular fibrosis following arthroplasty.

Dr. did a manipulation of knee with arthroscopy and excision of intraarticular scar tissue of knee. I have the maipulation code but for the life of me can't get the excison of intraarticular scar tissue. ( maybe it's just Friday .. I don't know )

Any suggestions????
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

what diagnoses did you use for the intraarticular scar tissue? 726.0 adhesions?

Thanks
