I am new to this website and I have to say I wish I would have found this site a long time ago...anyways...my question is What Diagnostic code for an ACL Replacement is or should be used.....5003 or 5257? If there is anyone else that has had this done what codes were used for them? I have had two ACL Replacements on the same knee and most of my meniscus removed and the Army used code 5003 as did the VA rating me at 0%.....I have always thought it to be wrong... two major knee surgery's on the same knee and they find 0%...if anyone can give me any help I would appreciate it....
