Other secondary osteonecrosis, right foot
ICD-10 M87.374 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other secondary osteonecrosis, right foot.
Other secondary osteonecrosis of the right foot refers to the death of bone tissue in the foot due to a lack of blood supply, which can occur as a result of various underlying conditions such as trauma, corticosteroid use, or certain diseases like diabetes or sickle cell disease. This condition can lead to severe pain, limited mobility, and potential complications such as fractures or joint collapse. The right foot is specifically affected, which may influence treatment options and rehabilitation strategies. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI to assess the extent of bone damage and to rule out other conditions like osteomyelitis, which is an infection of the bone. Treatment may include pain management, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove necrotic bone or to stabilize the affected area. Understanding the underlying cause of osteonecrosis is crucial for effective management and prevention of further complications.
Detailed imaging reports, surgical notes, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with foot pain and history of corticosteroid use or trauma.
Ensure clear documentation of the affected area and any surgical interventions performed.
Comprehensive patient history including autoimmune conditions and medication use.
Patients with systemic diseases leading to secondary osteonecrosis.
Document any comorbid conditions that may contribute to osteonecrosis.
Used when treating joint pain associated with osteonecrosis.
Document the joint involved and the reason for the procedure.
Orthopedic documentation should include imaging results and treatment rationale.
Common causes include corticosteroid use, trauma, alcohol abuse, and certain medical conditions such as sickle cell disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.
