About ICD-9-CM 81.42

81.42 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for Five-in-one repair of knee. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 24 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0KXS0ZZ (Transfer Right Lower Leg Muscle, Open Approach), 0KXS4ZZ (Transfer Right Lower Leg Muscle, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 0KXT0ZZ (Transfer Left Lower Leg Muscle, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
