Code Classification

  • Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
    (M00–M99)
    • Other osteopathies
      (M86-M90)
      • Other disorders of bone
        (M89)

M89.5 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of osteolysis. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Osteolysis

Non-specific codes like M89.5 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for osteolysis:

  • Use M89.50 for Osteolysis, unspecified site - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.51 for Osteolysis, shoulder - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.511 for Osteolysis, right shoulder - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.512 for Osteolysis, left shoulder - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.519 for Osteolysis, unspecified shoulder - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.52 for Osteolysis, upper arm - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.521 for Osteolysis, right upper arm - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.522 for Osteolysis, left upper arm - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.529 for Osteolysis, unspecified upper arm - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.53 for Osteolysis, forearm - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.531 for Osteolysis, right forearm - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.532 for Osteolysis, left forearm - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.539 for Osteolysis, unspecified forearm - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.54 for Osteolysis, hand - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.541 for Osteolysis, right hand - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.542 for Osteolysis, left hand - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.549 for Osteolysis, unspecified hand - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.55 for Osteolysis, thigh - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.551 for Osteolysis, right thigh - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.552 for Osteolysis, left thigh - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.559 for Osteolysis, unspecified thigh - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.56 for Osteolysis, lower leg - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.561 for Osteolysis, right lower leg - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.562 for Osteolysis, left lower leg - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.569 for Osteolysis, unspecified lower leg - BILLABLE CODE

  • M89.57 for Osteolysis, ankle and foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.571 for Osteolysis, right ankle and foot - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.572 for Osteolysis, left ankle and foot - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.579 for Osteolysis, unspecified ankle and foot - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.58 for Osteolysis, other site - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M89.59 for Osteolysis, multiple sites - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • Hajdu-Cheney Syndrome

    rare, autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by acro-osteolysis, generalized osteoporosis, and skull deformations.
  • Osteolysis

    dissolution of bone that particularly involves the removal or loss of calcium.
  • Osteolysis, Essential

    syndromes of bone destruction where the cause is not obvious such as neoplasia, infection, or trauma. the destruction follows various patterns: massive (gorham disease), multicentric (hajdu-cheney syndrome), or carpal/tarsal.
  • Acroosteolysis

    a condition that is characterized by degeneration of the distal phalanges.
  • Inherited Osteolysis Syndrome

    a genetically heterogenous group of disorders characterized by loss of bone tissue.
  • Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome|MCTO

    an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutation(s) in the mafb gene, encoding transcription factor mafb. it is characterized by progressive destruction of the carpal and tarsal bones, usually with onset in early childhood.
  • Multicentric Osteolysis, Nodulosis, and Arthropathy|Hereditary Multicentric Osteolysis|MONA

    a rare, autosomal recessive inherited syndrome caused by mutations in the mmp2 gene. it is characterized by the presence of multiple, painless subcutaneous nodules, osteolysis particularly in the hands and feet, osteoporosis, and arthropathy.
  • Osteolysis

    dissolution of bone; applied especially to the removal or loss of the calcium of bone.

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.


Use Additional Code

Use Additional Code
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
  • code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable M89.7

Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
  • periprosthetic osteolysis of internal prosthetic joint T84.05

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
