Other secondary osteonecrosis, right shoulder
ICD-10 M87.311 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other secondary osteonecrosis, right shoulder.
M87.311 refers to a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue in the right shoulder due to a lack of blood supply, which is classified as secondary osteonecrosis. This condition can arise from various underlying causes, including trauma, corticosteroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, or certain medical conditions such as sickle cell disease or systemic lupus erythematosus. Patients may present with pain, limited range of motion, and swelling in the shoulder area. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI to assess bone integrity and identify necrotic areas. Treatment options may include conservative management with pain relief and physical therapy, or surgical interventions such as core decompression or joint replacement in more severe cases. Understanding the etiology and management of secondary osteonecrosis is crucial for effective treatment and rehabilitation.
Detailed patient history, imaging results, treatment plans, and follow-up care notes.
Patients presenting with shoulder pain, limited mobility, or after corticosteroid treatment.
Orthopedic surgeons should document the specific surgical procedures performed and any complications encountered.
Comprehensive assessment of underlying systemic conditions contributing to osteonecrosis.
Patients with autoimmune diseases presenting with joint pain and history of corticosteroid use.
Rheumatologists should ensure that the relationship between systemic disease and osteonecrosis is clearly documented.
Used when assessing the shoulder joint for osteonecrosis.
Document the reason for the procedure and findings.
Orthopedic surgeons should ensure that the procedure is justified based on clinical findings.
Common causes include corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, trauma, and certain medical conditions such as sickle cell disease and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Osteonecrosis is typically diagnosed through imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI, which can reveal changes in bone structure and areas of necrosis.
Treatment options range from conservative management with pain relief and physical therapy to surgical interventions such as core decompression or joint replacement, depending on the severity of the condition.
