Wiki help with codes please

Hi,

Can someone please advise on what DX codes you would choose for this:

Quadriceps atrophy status post ACL reconstruction

We have a difference of opinions in the office.

Thank you,

You would code the atrophy followed by the code for late effect of injury, assuming this was an injury.
