Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified, sacral and sacrococcygeal region
ICD-10 M48.58 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified, sacral and sacrococcygeal region.
Collapsed vertebrae in the sacral and sacrococcygeal region can occur due to various underlying conditions, including trauma, malignancy, or degenerative diseases. This code is used when the vertebral collapse is not classified under other specific categories. Spondylopathies, such as ankylosing spondylitis, can lead to vertebral collapse due to chronic inflammation and subsequent structural changes in the spine. Inflammatory spine conditions may also contribute to vertebral instability, resulting in collapse. Spinal stenosis, characterized by narrowing of the spinal canal, can exacerbate these conditions by increasing pressure on the vertebrae, leading to further degeneration and potential collapse. Accurate diagnosis and documentation are crucial, as the management of these conditions often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including pain management, physical therapy, and possibly surgical intervention.
Detailed imaging reports, clinical assessments, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with back pain and imaging showing vertebral collapse.
Ensure that the cause of collapse is clearly documented to avoid misclassification.
Comprehensive history of inflammatory conditions, lab results, and treatment responses.
Patients with ankylosing spondylitis experiencing new or worsening back pain.
Document the relationship between inflammatory markers and vertebral health.
Used in cases of vertebral collapse due to osteoporosis or malignancy.
Pre-operative imaging and clinical justification for the procedure.
Orthopedic or interventional radiology documentation must support the need for vertebroplasty.
Collapsed vertebrae can result from various factors, including trauma, osteoporosis, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis.
