Would the following documentation suffice for a lateral meniscectomy?
The lateral compartment contained some free-edge fraying of the posterior horn and body of the
lateral meniscus. This was débrided with a 4.5 shaver. The rest of the meniscus was probed
and found to be stable. The cartilaginous surfaces were in good condition in lateral
compartment.
If so, do you have any references?
thanks
