medical reason for the surgery
The ICD-10-CM code for a bilateral hip replacement is Z96.641, which indicates the presence of an artificial hip joint in both hips. This code is used to document patients who have undergone bilateral total hip arthroplasty. It's important to ensure accurate coding based on the specific procedure and any relevant clinical details.

Hip resurfacing or total hip replacement
Hip Replacement or hip arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to treat the damaged portion of the hip. A person who performs this procedure by making certain incisions to remove the damaged part of the hip and replacing them with prosthetic implants is a Hip Replacement surgeon.
If you need a hip replacement, then age is not an issue.

Hip replacements can be both. But a revision is simply when they have to re-operate, or revise an exisiting hip replacement, often by putting a new one in.
A replacement hip should not be squeaking. Contact your surgeon regarding this. There may be a recall on the replacement hip, or there may be a more simple solution. Do not assume that this is normal.
If you are coding for a facility for procedures you need 2 codes to completely capture the service: If it is for a total hip arthroplasty then you would code 81.51 plus the code for the bearing surface of the implant: 00.74 for metal on polyethelene, 00.75 metal on metal, 00.76 ceramic on ceramic, 00.77 ceramic on polyethelene. If it is for a partial hip arthroplasty then 81.52 plus the code for the bearing surface of the implant (00.74-00.77)
Hip arthroplasty is a hip replacement. Arthropathy is any joint disease.
