ICD10 code of Madelung Deformity and ICD9 code

Madelung Deformity, also known as Madelung's deformity, is a rare congenital condition characterized by abnormal growth of the distal radial physis, resulting in a progressive deformity of the wrist and forearm. This condition typically presents during adolescence and primarily affects females.

In terms of medical coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for Madelung Deformity. The ICD-10 code for this condition is Q74.8. The "Q" indicates that it is a congenital malformation, while the "74.8" further specifies the particular deformity. This code allows healthcare professionals to accurately identify and document cases of Madelung Deformity for billing and statistical purposes.

As for the previous edition of the coding system, the ICD-9 code for Madelung Deformity is 755.59. ICD-9 is the 9th revision of the International Classification of Diseases and was used prior to the implementation of ICD-10. The code 755.59 falls under the category of "Other congenital anomalies of limb(s)".

It is important to note that accurate medical coding is crucial for proper documentation, billing, and research purposes. These codes help healthcare providers communicate effectively and ensure consistency in the classification and management of various medical conditions.
