Camurati-Engelmann disease, also known as progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive thickening of the long bones, particularly in the diaphyses. The ICD10 code for Camurati-Engelmann disease is Q78.1. This code falls under the category of "Other osteochondrodysplasias" in the ICD10 coding system.
In contrast, the ICD9 code for Camurati-Engelmann disease is 756.59. In the ICD9 system, this code is classified under "Other congenital musculoskeletal anomalies."
It is important to note that the ICD10 coding system is more current and widely used globally, while the ICD9 system was used prior to the implementation of ICD10. The transition to ICD10 allows for more detailed and specific coding, resulting in improved accuracy and better tracking of diseases and conditions.
It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate and up-to-date coding information.
