Operative reports were reviewed to determine laterality and revised components (tibial, femoral, liner, and patellar component), which were then compared with the ICD-10-PCS codes associated with the billing records. Proper coding required both component removal and replacement codes. The correct ...
Poster presented at: Current Concepts In Joint Replacement; December 7–10, 2022 2022; Orlando, FL. Session P-124. Kort N, Stirling P, Pilot P, Müller JH. Robot-assisted knee arthroplasty improves component positioning and alignment, but results are inconclusive on whether it improves clinical...
TKR were identified via record linkage analysis with hospital discharge databases of the MediClaim System, which has captured the surgical procedure and up to three diagnoses according to the International Classification of Disease (ICD-9) coding system 9 for all inpatient discharges from all public ...

Diagnostic OA coding depends on the interaction with clinical services and may be applied late (if at all) in the clinical pathway. This is sometimes around the time of referral for joint replacement29, 30 (though only 72/1096 (6.6%) of our OA outcomes relied on knee arthroplasty codes)....
The AJRR data verification system underwent a rapid transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10-PCS format in 2015, requiring hospital coders to translate surgical procedures into a stricter and more granular clinical coding system [26]. This steep learning curve for hospital administrative coders may have led...
