Other recurrent vertebral dislocation
ICD-10 M43.5 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other recurrent vertebral dislocation.
Recurrent vertebral dislocation refers to the repeated displacement of vertebrae in the spinal column, which can lead to significant spinal deformities and functional impairments. This condition may arise from various underlying causes, including trauma, degenerative diseases, or congenital anomalies. Patients may present with symptoms such as back pain, neurological deficits, and postural abnormalities. The condition can contribute to spinal deformities like scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, which may necessitate surgical interventions such as spinal fusion to stabilize the affected vertebrae. Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent further complications, including chronic pain and disability. Treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy, pain management, and surgical options, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the dislocation.
Detailed surgical notes, imaging studies, and pre/post-operative assessments.
Patients undergoing spinal fusion due to recurrent dislocation and associated deformities.
Ensure clear documentation of the surgical approach and rationale for fusion.
Comprehensive assessments of functional status and rehabilitation progress.
Management of patients with recurrent dislocation and associated pain or disability.
Documenting the impact of dislocation on daily activities and rehabilitation goals.
Used in cases of recurrent vertebral dislocation requiring stabilization.
Operative report detailing the procedure and indications.
Orthopedic surgeons must document the rationale for fusion in the context of recurrent dislocation.
Common causes include trauma, degenerative diseases, congenital anomalies, and conditions leading to ligamentous laxity.
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, patient history, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI.
