Myositis ossificans traumatica, unspecified thigh
ICD-10 M61.059 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, unspecified thigh.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition characterized by the abnormal formation of bone tissue within muscle or soft 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 unspecified thigh involvement, the condition may manifest as pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the thigh muscles. Patients may experience muscle weakness due to the disruption of normal muscle function and the presence of ectopic bone formation. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal the presence of calcified tissue within the muscle. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it causes significant impairment. Understanding the underlying muscle disorders and neuromuscular conditions is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation of affected patients.
Detailed trauma history, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Post-traumatic evaluation of thigh injuries, surgical intervention for ossification.
Ensure clear documentation of the mechanism of injury and follow-up care.
Functional assessments, rehabilitation goals, and progress notes.
Rehabilitation following trauma, management of muscle weakness.
Documenting the impact of myositis on functional abilities is crucial.
Used when joint involvement is suspected alongside myositis.
Document the reason for aspiration and findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear linkage between the procedure and diagnosis.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle or soft tissue following trauma, leading to pain and muscle weakness.
