Myositis ossificans traumatica, right hand
ICD-10 M61.041 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, right hand.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within muscle or connective tissue following trauma. This condition typically arises after an injury, such as a fracture or severe contusion, where the muscle tissue undergoes a process of calcification and ossification. In the case of myositis ossificans traumatica affecting the right hand, the patient may experience localized pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the affected area. The condition can lead to muscle weakness and functional impairment, particularly in the hand's dexterity and strength. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal the presence of heterotopic ossification. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it significantly impairs function. Understanding the underlying muscle disorders and neuromuscular conditions is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation.
Detailed injury history, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic cases following fractures or severe contusions.
Ensure accurate laterality and specify the type of trauma.
Functional assessments, therapy progress notes, and pain management strategies.
Rehabilitation following surgical intervention for myositis ossificans.
Document functional limitations and goals for therapy.
Used when joint aspiration is performed due to swelling from myositis ossificans.
Document the reason for aspiration and findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear documentation of joint involvement.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle or connective tissue following trauma, leading to pain and functional impairment.
