Myositis ossificans traumatica, thigh
ICD-10 M61.05 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, thigh.
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 in the thigh muscles after an injury, such as a fracture, contusion, or surgical intervention. The pathophysiology involves the transformation of muscle fibers into bone-forming cells, leading to ossification. Patients may present with localized swelling, pain, and reduced range of motion in the affected thigh. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal calcification or ossification in the muscle tissue. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. Early recognition and management are crucial to prevent complications such as muscle weakness and impaired mobility.
Detailed history of trauma, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic ossification following fractures or surgical procedures.
Ensure accurate documentation of the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Functional assessments, treatment progress notes, and rehabilitation goals.
Rehabilitation following trauma leading to myositis ossificans.
Focus on documenting muscle strength assessments and functional limitations.
Used when aspiration is needed for symptomatic relief.
Document the reason for aspiration and any findings.
Orthopedic specialists may perform this procedure.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle or connective tissue due to trauma, often resulting in pain and limited mobility.
Diagnosis is typically made through clinical evaluation and imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal calcification or ossification in the affected muscle.
Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue.
