Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of left foot
ICD-10 M87.075 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of idiopathic aseptic necrosis of left foot.
Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of the left foot is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply, without the presence of infection. This condition can lead to significant pain, swelling, and functional impairment of the affected foot. The etiology remains unknown, hence the term 'idiopathic.' Aseptic necrosis can occur in various bones, but when localized to the foot, it often affects the talus or the metatarsals. Patients may present with gradual onset of pain, which can worsen with weight-bearing activities. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, which can reveal changes in bone density and structure. Treatment options may include conservative management with rest and analgesics, physical therapy, or surgical interventions such as core decompression or osteotomy in more severe cases. The condition can lead to complications such as osteoarthritis or chronic pain if not managed appropriately.
Detailed imaging reports, clinical notes on pain assessment, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with foot pain, history of trauma, or chronic conditions affecting blood supply.
Ensure clear documentation of the idiopathic nature and exclusion of other causes.
Functional assessments, therapy progress notes, and patient-reported outcomes.
Rehabilitation following surgical intervention for necrosis or conservative management.
Documenting the impact on daily activities and rehabilitation goals.
Used for pain management in patients with necrosis-related joint issues.
Document the indication for the procedure and any imaging findings.
Orthopedic specialists may perform this procedure for symptomatic relief.
The primary cause is unknown, but it is believed to be related to reduced blood supply to the bone, which can be influenced by factors such as trauma, corticosteroid use, or systemic diseases.
