What 27441 covers

This code represents operative revision of a knee joint. An orthopedic surgeon typically performs the procedure in an operating room when the knee requires surgical revision after prior treatment. The operative report should identify the joint work performed and explain why revision was needed; the code should not be selected from the diagnosis alone.

Report it for the documented revision service, distinguishing it from a primary total knee replacement and from revision codes with more specifically defined work. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
