Bilateral Total Knee Replacement Guidance

Creation date: 11/30/2022 9:07 AM Updated: 8/1/2023 10:42 PM

A bilateral procedure should be treated as one procedure with one line if they are done on the same day. Please leave the laterality blank in this situation because this is a situational field and will not error out. Sequential procedures (first one knee and then ~ 6 weeks to 3 months later) are treated as two separate procedures that might have some overlap in their post-op assessments.

This category is for questions related to the Total Knee Replacement, Spine Fusion: Disc-Laminotomy and Spine Surgery: Fusion clinical quality measures.
