ICD10 code of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and ICD9 code
What is the ICD10 code for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease? And the ICD9 code for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease?
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, also known as Legg-Perthes disease or Perthes disease, is a childhood condition that affects the hip joint. It occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head (the rounded end of the thigh bone) is temporarily disrupted, leading to bone death and subsequent deformity.
In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is assigned the code M91.1. This code falls under the category of "Juvenile osteochondrosis of hip and pelvis." It is important to note that ICD-10 codes are used for classification and statistical purposes, allowing healthcare providers to accurately document and communicate diagnoses.
In the previous edition, the ICD-9 code for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease was 732.4. This code was used to identify "Juvenile osteochondrosis of the head of femur." However, since October 2015, ICD-10 codes have been implemented, providing a more detailed and comprehensive classification system for medical conditions.
It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
