Myositis ossificans traumatica, right shoulder
ICD-10 M61.011 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, right shoulder.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within muscle or connective tissue following trauma. This condition typically occurs after an injury, such as a fracture or severe contusion, leading to inflammation and subsequent calcification of the affected muscle. In the case of the right shoulder, the muscle tissue surrounding the shoulder joint may undergo this pathological process, resulting in pain, swelling, and restricted range of motion. Patients may experience muscle weakness due to the compromised function of the affected muscles. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal the presence of heterotopic ossification. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it significantly impairs function. Understanding the underlying muscle disorders and neuromuscular conditions is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation of patients with myositis ossificans.
Detailed history of trauma, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic shoulder pain with restricted movement.
Ensure accurate documentation of the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Functional assessments, therapy progress notes, and patient response to treatment.
Rehabilitation following surgical removal of ossified tissue.
Documenting the impact of myositis on functional abilities and rehabilitation goals.
Used for pain management in cases of myositis ossificans.
Document the indication for the procedure and the patient's response.
Orthopedic specialists may perform this procedure to alleviate symptoms.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle or soft tissue following trauma, leading to pain and restricted movement.
Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal calcification in the affected muscle.
Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical removal of the ossified tissue.
Documentation must include a detailed history of the trauma, imaging results, and treatment plans to support the diagnosis.
