Z96.9: Presence of functional implant, unspecified

You have an implant in your body.

Sometimes a particular part of the body is damaged or can no longer work properly. In some cases, it may then be replaced by artificial material. The artificial material is often also called an implant. The implant is often intended to undertake the work of the affected body part. It is also possible for you to have an implant in your body for a different reason.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
