Other calcification of muscle, unspecified shoulder
ICD-10 M61.419 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other calcification of muscle, unspecified shoulder.
M61.419 refers to the condition characterized by abnormal calcification in the muscle tissue of the shoulder region, which is not classified under more specific categories. This condition can arise from various underlying causes, including metabolic disorders, trauma, or chronic inflammation. Calcification in muscle can lead to stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion, impacting the patient's quality of life and functional abilities. It may be associated with other muscle disorders such as myositis, where inflammation of the muscle tissue occurs, leading to muscle weakness and discomfort. The calcification process can be a result of dystrophic calcification, where calcium deposits form in damaged or necrotic tissue, or metastatic calcification, which occurs due to systemic conditions affecting calcium metabolism. Accurate diagnosis often requires imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, to visualize the extent and location of calcification. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and addressing any underlying conditions contributing to the calcification.
Detailed imaging reports, clinical notes on range of motion, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain and limited mobility due to calcification.
Ensure that the documentation clearly states the relationship between calcification and any underlying conditions.
Comprehensive history of systemic conditions, lab results, and treatment responses.
Patients with autoimmune disorders presenting with calcification as a complication.
Document any systemic involvement that may contribute to muscle calcification.
Used when imaging is performed to assess calcification in the shoulder.
Radiology report detailing findings of calcification.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure imaging correlates with clinical findings.
Common causes include trauma, metabolic disorders, chronic inflammation, and certain systemic diseases. Each case may require specific diagnostic approaches to determine the underlying cause.
