Myositis ossificans traumatica, unspecified site
ICD-10 M61.00 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, unspecified site.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within muscle or connective tissue following trauma. This condition typically arises after a significant injury, such as a fracture or severe contusion, leading to inflammation and subsequent calcification of the affected muscle. The ossification process can result in pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the affected area. Patients may experience muscle weakness due to the loss of normal muscle function and the presence of ectopic bone. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal the presence of calcified masses within the muscle. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. The unspecified site designation indicates that the specific location of the myositis ossificans has not been documented, which can complicate treatment and management strategies.
Detailed history of trauma, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic cases following sports injuries or accidents.
Ensure clear documentation of the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Functional assessments, treatment progress notes, and rehabilitation plans.
Patients undergoing rehabilitation after trauma with muscle weakness.
Document the impact of myositis ossificans on functional abilities and rehabilitation goals.
Used when joint aspiration is needed due to swelling from myositis ossificans.
Document the indication for aspiration and findings.
Orthopedic specialists may frequently perform this procedure.
