ICD10 code of Osteonecrosis and ICD9 code

What is the ICD10 code for Osteonecrosis? And the ICD9 code for Osteonecrosis?

Osteonecrosis, also known as avascular necrosis, is a condition characterized by the death of bone tissue due to reduced blood supply. It commonly affects the hip joint, but can also occur in other joints such as the knee, shoulder, or ankle. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides a specific code for osteonecrosis.

The ICD-10 code for osteonecrosis is M87.0. This code falls under the broader category of "osteonecrosis," which includes other types as well. The code M87.0 is used to identify primary osteonecrosis, which is often idiopathic or caused by unknown factors. It is important to note that there are other codes available within the M87 category for osteonecrosis caused by specific factors, such as trauma or medications.

In the previous International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), osteonecrosis was classified under code 733.4. However, with the implementation of the ICD-10 system, this code has been replaced by the more specific M87.0 code.

It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or medical coder for accurate diagnosis and appropriate coding of osteonecrosis. They can provide further guidance on the specific codes and documentation requirements based on the individual patient's condition.
