Can anyone help me find an icd-9 code for trochlear dysplasia? Pt has a patellar dislocation with trochlear dysplasia. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
 
Hope this helps :-)

Twould seem from some quick research that Trochlear Dysplasia is a mal-formation of the femoral end of the knee joint, and often associated with patellar dislocation. http://www.orpha.net/consor/cgi-bin/OC_Exp.php?lng=en&Expert=1863 and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21205763

Since the condition isn't specified as congenital in anything I could find, I would think that the best coding path would be Anomaly/knee(joint)... Code 755.64 (ICD-9-CM 2012 Pro)... Which oddly enough is described as a congenital deformity of the knee joint :-)

I would use updated manuals, and do some further research. I just finished an online coding course, so take it for what it's worth. Good luck in your search. :-)
