Wiki Please help/ Dx for Knee

[bella2]

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

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.
