[graceroni13]

Could anyone help me with these codes? i just need some clarification. is 717.7 used with the knee completely or just when the doctor says "chondromalacia patella"? what is 733.92 used for? can anyone give me examples??

Thank you!

You should use 717.7 for patella or patellofemoral chondromalacia and use 733.92 for chondromalacia in the medial or lateral compartments.
