Other ossification of muscle, unspecified shoulder
ICD-10 M61.519 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ossification of muscle, unspecified shoulder.
M61.519 refers to a condition characterized by abnormal bone formation within the muscle tissue of the shoulder region, which is not classified under more specific ossification disorders. This condition can arise from various etiologies, including trauma, myositis, or idiopathic causes. Patients may present with muscle stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder, which can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. The ossification process can lead to calcification of muscle fibers, resulting in muscle weakness and functional impairment. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI to visualize the ossified areas and differentiate them from other musculoskeletal disorders. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. Understanding the underlying causes and associated muscle disorders is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation of affected individuals.
Detailed clinical notes, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain and limited mobility due to ossification.
Ensure clear documentation of the extent of ossification and its impact on function.
Functional assessments, therapy progress notes, and patient-reported outcomes.
Rehabilitation of patients post-surgery for ossification removal.
Documenting the impact of muscle weakness on rehabilitation goals.
Used for pain management in patients with ossification-related discomfort.
Document the indication for the procedure and any imaging findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear documentation of the joint involved.
Common symptoms include shoulder pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, often accompanied by muscle weakness.
Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, and exclusion of other muscle disorders.
