Myositis ossificans progressiva, left shoulder
ICD-10 M61.112 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans progressiva, left shoulder.
Myositis ossificans progressiva (MOP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal formation of bone in muscles, tendons, and other connective tissues. This condition typically manifests after trauma or injury, leading to progressive ossification, particularly in the muscles of the shoulder, neck, and back. In the case of M61.112, the focus is on the left shoulder, where patients may experience significant muscle weakness, stiffness, and pain due to the formation of heterotopic bone. The condition is often misdiagnosed as other muscle disorders or injuries, which can delay appropriate treatment. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs that reveal calcification in soft tissues. Management strategies may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. Understanding the nuances of this condition is crucial for accurate coding and effective patient management.
Detailed notes on physical examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain and limited range of motion post-injury.
Ensure accurate laterality is documented and that all imaging studies are included in the medical record.
Comprehensive assessments of functional limitations and rehabilitation goals.
Patients requiring rehabilitation post-surgery for ossification removal.
Document progress and response to therapy to support ongoing treatment needs.
Used for pain management in patients with myositis ossificans progressiva.
Document the indication for the procedure and any imaging findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure that the procedure is linked to the diagnosis.
Myositis ossificans progressiva is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissues, often following trauma, leading to muscle stiffness and weakness.
Diagnosis of M61.112 involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs, and a thorough patient history to differentiate it from other muscle disorders.
