Calcification and ossification of muscle
Chapter 13:Diseases of the musculoskeletal system
ICD-10 M61 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of calcification and ossification of muscle.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code M61 encompasses conditions related to calcification and ossification of muscle tissue. This category primarily includes disorders where abnormal calcium deposits or bone formation occur within muscle, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and functional impairment. Conditions such as myositis ossificans, where muscle tissue is replaced by bone, and calcific tendinitis, where calcium deposits form in tendons, are examples of conditions that fall under this category. These conditions can arise from trauma, inflammation, or metabolic disorders, and their clinical significance lies in the potential for chronic pain and reduced mobility in affected patients.

M61 includes conditions such as myositis ossificans, calcific tendinitis, and other disorders characterized by abnormal calcification or ossification within muscle tissue.
M61 codes should be used when diagnosing patients with muscle calcification or ossification, particularly when these conditions are confirmed through imaging or clinical evaluation.
Documentation should include clinical findings, imaging results, and a clear description of the patient's symptoms and functional limitations related to the muscle condition.
