Hi, I was really looking for some help with a knee dx.
The Doctor has the dx listed as " maceration of the medial meniscus,"
I've looked everywhere and I'm hoping some other coders have run into this dx. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any responses :confused:
 
Knee DX

According to Taber's maceration is a softening. When looking up softening of the meniscus Encoder Pro and ICD-9 goes to 733.92. Hope this helps.;)
