Other ossification of muscle, left shoulder
ICD-10 M61.512 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other ossification of muscle, left shoulder.
M61.512 refers to a condition characterized by abnormal bone formation within the muscle tissue of the left shoulder. This condition, known as myositis ossificans, can occur following trauma, surgery, or in association with certain neuromuscular disorders. The ossification process leads to the replacement of muscle fibers with bone tissue, resulting in stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion. Patients may experience muscle weakness and discomfort, particularly during movement. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI to visualize the ossified areas. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the ossified tissue. Understanding the underlying causes, such as previous injuries or systemic conditions, is crucial for effective management and rehabilitation.
Detailed notes on physical examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain and limited range of motion following trauma.
Documentation should clearly outline the history of injury and any previous treatments.
Comprehensive assessment of functional limitations and rehabilitation goals.
Patients requiring rehabilitation post-surgery for ossification removal.
Focus on documenting progress and response to therapy.
Used when managing pain associated with ossification.
Document the reason for the procedure and the findings.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure accurate coding based on the procedure performed.
Common causes include trauma, surgery, and certain neuromuscular disorders. It can also occur spontaneously in some individuals.
