Other ossification of muscle, right shoulder
ICD-10 M61.511 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ossification of muscle, right shoulder.
M61.511 refers to a condition characterized by abnormal bone formation within the muscle tissue of the right shoulder. This ossification can occur due to various factors, including trauma, prolonged immobilization, or certain neuromuscular disorders. Clinically, patients may present with muscle stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion in the affected shoulder. The condition can be associated with myositis, which is inflammation of the muscle, leading to muscle weakness and discomfort. In some cases, the ossification may be a result of myositis ossificans, where muscle tissue is replaced by bone following injury. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI to visualize the ossified areas and differentiate them from other conditions. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue if it significantly impairs function.
Detailed notes on physical examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain and limited range of motion due to ossification.
Ensure clear documentation of the relationship between trauma and ossification.
Comprehensive assessment of inflammatory markers and muscle strength testing.
Patients with myositis presenting with ossification as a complication.
Document any autoimmune conditions that may contribute to muscle ossification.
Used when a patient with M61.511 requires aspiration of the shoulder joint due to swelling.
Document the indication for the procedure and the findings during aspiration.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure that the procedure is linked to the diagnosis.
Ossification in muscle can be caused by trauma, inflammation, or certain genetic conditions. It often occurs as a response to injury or chronic muscle inflammation.
