Myositis ossificans traumatica, unspecified shoulder
ICD-10 M61.019 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, unspecified shoulder.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within muscle or soft tissue following trauma. This condition typically occurs after a significant injury, such as a fracture or severe contusion, leading to inflammation and subsequent ossification in the affected area. In the case of the unspecified shoulder, the condition may manifest as pain, swelling, and restricted range of motion in the shoulder joint. Patients may experience muscle weakness due to the infiltration of bone into muscle tissue, which can further complicate rehabilitation efforts. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal calcification or ossification in the muscle. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. Understanding the nuances of myositis ossificans is crucial for accurate coding and effective patient management.
Detailed history of trauma, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic shoulder pain with limited mobility and imaging showing ossification.
Ensure clear documentation of the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Functional assessments, treatment goals, and progress notes.
Rehabilitation following trauma with myositis ossificans affecting shoulder function.
Documenting the impact of muscle weakness on rehabilitation outcomes is crucial.
Used for pain management in cases of myositis ossificans.
Document the indication for the procedure and any imaging findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear linkage between the diagnosis and the procedure.
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 a combination of patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI.
Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue.
