In October 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services transitioned from the 9th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes for reporting patient diagnosis and medical procedures to the 10th version (ICD-10). The multitude of coding options for total joint arthroplasty in ICD-10-procedural coding (ICD-10-PCS) poses some challenges for the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) in identifying precise procedures being reported. While AJRR participating hospitals are familiar with ICD-10-PCS, this new coding may not have been introduced to most AJRR participating surgeons. To address these issues, AJRR initiated an ICD-10 workgroup to define and map appropriate ICD-10 codes to total joint procedure types. This initiative sought to improve accuracy of AJRR data.
2015年10月，医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心从用于报告患者诊断和医疗程序的第九版国际疾病分类（ICD-9）编码过渡到了第十版（ICD-10）。国际疾病分类第十版手术操作编码（ICD-10-PCS）中全关节置换术的众多编码选项给美国关节置换登记处（AJRR）识别所报告的精确手术带来了一些挑战。虽然AJRR参与医院熟悉ICD-10-PCS，但大多数AJRR参与手术的医生可能还没有接触到这种新编码。为了解决这些问题，AJRR发起了一个ICD-10工作组，以定义合适的ICD-10编码并将其映射到全关节手术类型。该举措旨在提高AJRR数据的准确性。
