Dupuytren's Contracture ICD-10 code: M72.0


Dupuytren's Contracture ICD-9 code: 728.6


Dupuytren's contracture is a condition that affects the hand, specifically the palmar fascia, causing the fingers to bend inward and restrict movement. The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for this condition. The ICD-10 code for Dupuytren's contracture is M72.0. This alphanumeric code is used by healthcare professionals to accurately document and classify diagnoses for medical billing, research, and statistical purposes.

In contrast, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) was the previous coding system used before the implementation of ICD-10. The corresponding code for Dupuytren's contracture in ICD-9 is 728.6. It is worth noting that ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical billing or reporting purposes, as they have been replaced by ICD-10 codes. However, understanding the ICD-9 code can help in interpreting historical medical records or research studies that were conducted prior to the transition to ICD-10.

It is essential for healthcare professionals to accurately assign the appropriate ICD-10 code, M72.0, for Dupuytren's contracture to ensure proper documentation, treatment, and reimbursement. This code enables medical practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to analyze and track the prevalence, treatment outcomes, and impact of Dupuytren's contracture on patient populations.
