XRRH0L8 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left knee joint using an open approach with synthetic substitute, lateral meniscus (qualifier: new technology group 8).

With a different device, use XRRH0M8 (synthetic substitute, medial meniscus).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 461 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity with MCC), DRG 462 (Bilateral or Multiple Major Joint Procedures of Lower Extremity without MCC), DRG 469 (Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity with MCC or Total Ankle Replacement), DRG 470 (Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement or Reattachment of Lower Extremity without MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R.
