We should code an arthroscopic abrasion chondroplasty of the medial femoral condyle as 29879.
What is chondroplasty?
The goal of a chondroplasty is to smooth over loose, damaged articular cartilage flaps from the surface of the bone in the hopes that a normal joint surface will grow over the defect. For minor, superficial cartilage abnormalities, it is typically advised.
Knee cartilage damage can be repaired surgically by performing an arthroscopic chondroplasty. An arthroscope, a tiny camera used for minimally invasive surgery, is used to inspect the knee from the inside while using tiny tools to fix it. The small incisions made possible by the use of a small camera and tools lead to a quicker and less uncomfortable recovery.
