Other calcification of muscle, right shoulder
ICD-10 M61.411 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other calcification of muscle, right shoulder.
M61.411 refers to the condition characterized by abnormal calcification in the muscle tissue of the right shoulder. This condition can arise from various underlying causes, including trauma, inflammation, or metabolic disorders. Calcification in muscle tissue may lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, significantly impacting a patient's quality of life. It is often associated with myositis, a condition where muscle inflammation occurs, leading to muscle weakness and discomfort. Patients may present with localized pain in the shoulder, swelling, and tenderness upon palpation. Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRI, is typically utilized to confirm the presence of calcification and assess its extent. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the calcified tissue. Understanding the etiology and implications of muscle calcification is crucial for effective management and coding of this condition.
