Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of right tibia
ICD-10 M87.061 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of idiopathic aseptic necrosis of right tibia.
Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of the right tibia is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply, without the presence of infection. This condition is often seen in younger adults and can be associated with various risk factors, including corticosteroid use, alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions such as sickle cell disease. The right tibia is specifically affected, leading to pain, swelling, and potential functional impairment. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, which can reveal changes in bone density and structure. Treatment options may include conservative management with pain relief, physical therapy, or surgical interventions such as core decompression or bone grafting, depending on the severity of the necrosis. The idiopathic nature of this condition means that the exact cause is often unknown, complicating treatment and management strategies.
Detailed imaging reports, treatment plans, and follow-up notes.
Patients presenting with unilateral knee pain and swelling, particularly in younger adults.
Ensure clear documentation of the absence of infection and the idiopathic nature of the condition.
Functional assessments, rehabilitation goals, and progress notes.
Patients undergoing rehabilitation post-surgery for necrosis.
Document functional limitations and response to therapy.
Used for pain management in patients with necrosis.
Document indication for the procedure and patient response.
Orthopedic specialists should ensure clear rationale for joint injections.
Common symptoms include localized pain in the affected area, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Patients may also experience pain during weight-bearing activities.
