Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Clavicle

    a bone on the ventral side of the shoulder girdle, which in humans is commonly called the collar bone.
  • Coccyx

    the last bone in the vertebral column in tailless primates considered to be a vestigial tail-bone consisting of three to five fused vertebrae.
  • Costal Cartilage

    bars of hyaline cartilage extending from the anterior ends of the upper ribs. they attach to the sternum directly or indirectly by connecting to upper costal cartilage that attaches to the sternum. costal cartilages extend the ribs anteriorly and contribute to the enhanced elasticity of the thoracic wall.
  • Ischium

    one of three bones that make up the coxal bone of the pelvic girdle. in tetrapods, it is the part of the pelvis that projects backward on the ventral side, and in primates, it bears the weight of the sitting animal.
  • Cementoma

    an odontogenic fibroma in which cells have developed into cementoblasts and which consists largely of cementum.
  • Mandible

    the largest and strongest bone of the face constituting the lower jaw. it supports the lower teeth.
  • Nucleus Pulposus

    fibrocartilage inner core of the intervertebral disc. prolapsed or bulged nucleus pulposus leads to intervertebral disc displacement while proliferation of cells in the nucleus pulposus is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration.
  • Pubic Bone

    a bone that forms the lower and anterior part of each side of the hip bone.
  • Sternum

    a long, narrow, and flat bone commonly known as breastbone occurring in the midsection of the anterior thoracic segment or chest region, which stabilizes the rib cage and serves as the point of origin for several muscles that move the arms, head, and neck.
  • Chondromatosis

    multiple formation of chondromas. (dorland, 27th ed)
  • Chondromatosis, Synovial

    rare, benign, chronic, progressive metaplasia in which cartilage is formed in the synovial membranes of joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae. some of the metaplastic foci can become detached producing loose bodies. when the loose bodies undergo secondary calcification, the condition is called synovial osteochondromatosis.
  • Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

    a bone tumor composed of cellular spindle-cell stroma containing scattered multinucleated giant cells resembling osteoclasts. the tumors range from benign to frankly malignant lesions. the tumor occurs most frequently in an end of a long tubular bone in young adults. (from dorland, 27th ed; stedman, 25th ed)

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Table of Neoplasms

This code is referenced in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.

Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Patient Education


Bone Diseases

Your bones help you move, give you shape and support your body. They are living tissues that rebuild constantly throughout your life. During childhood and your teens, your body adds new bone faster than it removes old bone. After about age 20, you can lose bone faster than you make bone. To have strong bones when you are young, and to prevent bone loss when you are older, you need to get enough calcium, vitamin D, and exercise. You should also avoid smoking and drinking too much alcohol.

Bone diseases can make bones easy to break. Different kinds of bone problems include:

  • Low bone density and osteoporosis, which make your bones weak and more likely to break
  • Osteogenesis imperfecta makes your bones brittle
  • Paget's disease of bone makes them weak
  • Bones can also develop cancer and infections
  • Other bone diseases, which are caused by poor nutrition, genetics, or problems with the rate of bone growth or rebuilding

Cartilage Disorders

Cartilage is the tough but flexible tissue that covers the ends of your bones at a joint. It also gives shape and support to other parts of your body, such as your ears, nose and windpipe. Healthy cartilage helps you move by allowing your bones to glide over each other. It also protects bones by preventing them from rubbing against each other.

Injured, inflamed, or damaged cartilage can cause symptoms such as pain and limited movement. It can also lead to joint damage and deformity. Causes of cartilage problems include :

  • Tears and injuries, such as sports injuries
  • Genetic factors
  • Other disorders, such as some types of arthritis

Osteoarthritis results from breakdown of cartilage.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
