Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of musculoskeletal system, not elsewhere classified (M96)

ICD-10 codes in the M96 range are used to classify intraoperative and postprocedural complications affecting the musculoskeletal system that are not covered by other codes. These include issues such as pseudarthrosis, post-surgery spinal deformities, fractures after orthopedic implant insertion, and complications following chest compressions during CPR.

This range covers specific conditions like M96.0 for pseudarthrosis after fusion or arthrodesis, identifying cases where bones fail to unite properly after surgery. Postlaminectomy syndromes such as cervical or lumbar types are coded under M96.1. Codes M96.2 through M96.5 represent postradiation and postsurgical spinal deformities like kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis. Various fractures occurring after insertion of implants or joint prostheses are detailed in codes M96.6 to M96.69, specifying the bone and laterality when known. The section also includes complications like intraoperative hemorrhage, hematoma, accidental puncture, laceration, and seroma (M96.8), which may arise during or after musculoskeletal procedures. Finally, fractures related to compression injuries from cardiopulmonary resuscitation are coded in M96.A and its subcategories. These comprehensive codes help healthcare providers accurately document and manage complex post-surgical musculoskeletal conditions and complications.
