Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal thickening and hardening of the bones, leading to increased bone density. This condition can result in various complications such as fractures, anemia, vision and hearing problems, and increased susceptibility to infections. In the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), the code for osteopetrosis is Q78.2. The ICD-10 system is used worldwide to classify and code diseases, disorders, injuries, and other health-related conditions.

In the previous version, the 9th Revision (ICD-9), the code for osteopetrosis was 756.4. However, it is important to note that the ICD-9 codes have been phased out and replaced by the ICD-10 codes. The transition to ICD-10 allows for more specific and detailed coding, facilitating improved accuracy and better data analysis.

Healthcare professionals utilize these codes to accurately document and classify diagnoses, enabling effective communication between healthcare providers, researchers, and insurance companies. Proper coding ensures appropriate treatment, reimbursement, and statistical analysis of various medical conditions. Therefore, the ICD-10 code for osteopetrosis is Q78.2, while the obsolete ICD-9 code was 756.4.
