Other secondary osteonecrosis, pelvis
ICD-10 M87.350 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other secondary osteonecrosis, pelvis.
Other secondary osteonecrosis of the pelvis refers to the death of bone tissue in the pelvic region due to a lack of blood supply, which can occur as a result of various underlying conditions. This condition is often secondary to other diseases or factors, such as corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, trauma, or certain medical conditions like sickle cell disease or systemic lupus erythematosus. Patients may present with pain in the hip or groin area, limited range of motion, and may experience joint dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of bone necrosis. Treatment options may include conservative management with pain relief and physical therapy, or surgical interventions such as core decompression or joint replacement in advanced cases. The complexity of managing osteonecrosis lies in its multifactorial etiology and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to address both the bone health and the underlying conditions contributing to the osteonecrosis.
Detailed imaging reports, treatment plans, and follow-up notes are essential.
Patients presenting with hip pain and a history of corticosteroid use or trauma.
Ensure that all contributing factors to osteonecrosis are documented to support the diagnosis.
Comprehensive history of systemic diseases and medications that may contribute to osteonecrosis.
Patients with autoimmune disorders presenting with joint pain and risk factors for osteonecrosis.
Document the relationship between systemic conditions and the development of osteonecrosis.
Used for pain management in patients with osteonecrosis.
Document the reason for the procedure, including pain levels and imaging findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure that the procedure is justified based on clinical findings.
Common causes include corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, trauma, and systemic diseases such as lupus or sickle cell disease.
