Myositis ossificans traumatica, shoulder
ICD-10 M61.01 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, shoulder.
Myositis ossificans traumatica of the shoulder is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within the muscle following trauma. This condition typically arises after a significant injury, such as a fracture or severe contusion, leading to inflammation of the muscle (myositis) and subsequent ossification. The shoulder is a common site for this condition due to its mobility and susceptibility to injuries. Patients may present with localized pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal calcification or bone formation within the muscle tissue. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it leads to significant functional impairment. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of myositis ossificans is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation of affected individuals.
Detailed injury history, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic shoulder pain, limited range of motion after injury.
Ensure clear documentation of the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Functional assessments, therapy progress notes, and patient response to treatment.
Rehabilitation following shoulder trauma, management of pain and mobility.
Document the impact of myositis ossificans on functional abilities and rehabilitation goals.
Used when fluid accumulation is suspected in conjunction with myositis ossificans.
Document the reason for aspiration and findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear linkage between aspiration and diagnosis.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle after a traumatic injury, often leading to pain and limited mobility.
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI to identify calcification in the muscle.
