Myositis ossificans traumatica, left thigh
ICD-10 M61.052 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, left thigh.
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 ossification in the affected area. In the case of M61.052, the condition specifically affects the left thigh. Patients may present with localized pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the thigh muscle. The ossification can lead to muscle weakness and functional impairment, complicating rehabilitation efforts. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal calcified masses within the muscle. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it significantly impacts mobility or causes persistent pain. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of myositis ossificans is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation of affected individuals.
