I have one where they had RT TKA on 4/28/15* on this follow up 6/19/2015 the diagnosis is: Status post with arthrofibrosis.* He is in the global period.*

Not sure how to code the arthrofibrosis.** This would be considered a complication?***

I was going to code this: V45.89 ? status post, 718.56 ? Arhtrofibrosis, 99024

I am not sure that is correct sequencing or the right codes.* Or should I code a complication code?

Thank you,

Linda
 
In ICD-9 index, Arthrofibrosis, joint refers you to Ankylosis which are the 718.5x codes. Regarding status codes, take a look at V43.6x codes for status of a total knee. ICD-9 indicates that this V code is not acceptable as a first listed code.
