Myositis ossificans traumatica, other site
ICD-10 M61.08 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of myositis ossificans traumatica, other site.
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 a significant injury, such as fractures, muscle strains, or contusions, leading to inflammation and subsequent ossification. The process begins with muscle damage, which triggers an inflammatory response. Over time, this inflammation can lead to the deposition of calcium salts in the muscle tissue, resulting in the formation of bone-like structures. Symptoms may include localized pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the affected area. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, which can reveal the presence of calcified masses within the muscle. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. It is essential for healthcare providers to differentiate myositis ossificans from other conditions that cause muscle weakness or pain, as the management strategies may differ significantly.
Detailed history of trauma, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with post-traumatic pain and swelling in muscles.
Ensure clear documentation of the mechanism of injury and any surgical interventions.
Functional assessments, treatment progress notes, and rehabilitation plans.
Patients undergoing rehabilitation for muscle weakness and limited mobility due to myositis ossificans.
Document the impact of the condition on daily activities and rehabilitation goals.
Used when joint pain is present alongside myositis ossificans.
Document the reason for aspiration/injection and the joint involved.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear linkage between the procedure and the diagnosis.
Myositis ossificans traumatica is a condition where bone tissue forms in muscle or connective tissue following trauma, leading to pain and restricted movement.
Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI.
Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical removal of the ossified tissue.
