Myositis ossificans traumatica, left shoulder
ICD-10 M61.012 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, left shoulder.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within muscle or connective tissue following trauma. This condition typically occurs after a significant injury, such as a fracture or severe contusion, leading to inflammation and subsequent ossification in the affected area. In the case of the left shoulder, the muscle tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed due to trauma, and over time, this inflammation can lead to the formation of bone in the muscle. Patients may experience pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the shoulder. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, which can reveal the presence of calcified tissue. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it severely limits function. Understanding the underlying muscle disorders and neuromuscular conditions is crucial, as myositis ossificans can lead to muscle weakness and functional impairment if not addressed appropriately.
Detailed notes on the mechanism of injury, imaging results, and treatment plan.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain following a sports injury or fall.
Ensure that all imaging studies are documented and correlate with clinical findings.
Comprehensive assessment of functional limitations and rehabilitation goals.
Patients requiring rehabilitation after surgical intervention for myositis ossificans.
Document progress notes meticulously to support ongoing therapy needs.
Used when injecting corticosteroids for pain management in myositis ossificans.
Document the indication for injection and the specific joint involved.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure that the procedure is justified based on clinical findings.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle after trauma, leading to pain and restricted movement.
Diagnosis typically involves a clinical evaluation, imaging studies like X-rays or MRI, and a history of trauma.
Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and possibly surgery to remove ossified tissue if it affects function.
