The ICD code M87 is used to code Avascular necrosis. If avascular necrosis involves the bones of a joint, it often leads to destruction of the joint articular surfaces. (see Osteochondritis dissecans).
Avascular necrosis of right lateral femoral condyle ICD-10-CM M87.051 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 553 Bone diseases and arthropathies with mcc 554 Bone diseases and arthropathies without mcc
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M87.059 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of unspecified femur. Aseptic necrosis of femur head; Aseptic necrosis of medial femoral condyle; Avascular necrosis of bone of hip; Avascular necrosis of hip; Avascular necrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis; Avascular necrosis of the medial femoral condyle;
In some patients there has clearly been a direct cause (trauma, radiation,..), while in others the pathophysiology is still uncertain. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head has often been described as a multfactorial disease.
ICD-10-CM Code for Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of pelvis and femur M87. 05.

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a type of osteonecrosis due to disruption of blood supply to the proximal femur. There are approximately 10000 to 20000 new cases reported each year in the United States alone. [1] It can occur due to a variety of causes, either traumatic or atraumatic in origin.
Avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply. Also called osteonecrosis, it can lead to tiny breaks in the bone and cause the bone to collapse. The process usually takes months to years. A broken bone or dislocated joint can stop the blood flow to a section of bone.
Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of bone, other site M87. 08 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M87. 08 became effective on October 1, 2021.
thigh boneThe femoral head (femur head or head of the femur) is the highest part of the thigh bone (femur). It is supported by the femoral neck. Upper extremity of right femur viewed from behind and above.
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the bone. AVN of the hip is poorly understood, but this process is the final common pathway of traumatic or nontraumatic factors that compromise the already precarious circulation of the femoral head.
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head has often been described as a multifactorial disease. It is associated in some cases with a genetic predilection as well as an exposure to certain risk factors. The most common risk factors are corticosteroid intake, alcohol use, smoking, and various chronic diseases.
The femoral head is the most proximal portion of the femur and is supported by the femoral neck. It articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis. The femoral head is nearly spherical (two-thirds) but has a medial depression known as the fovea capitis femoris that serves as an attachment point for the ligamentum teres.
Osteonecrosis of the hip, commonly known as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, is the death of the femoral head as a result of the vascular disruption. AVN of the hip results in pain around the hip which is insidious in onset. The cause is generally multifactorial and more commonly seen in males compared to females.
These are coagulative, liquefactive, caseous, gangrenous which can be dry or wet, fat and fibrinoid. Necrosis can start from a process called “oncosis”.
The options include:Core decompression. A surgeon removes part of the inner layer of bone. ... Bone transplant (graft). This procedure can help strengthen the area of bone affected by avascular necrosis. ... Bone reshaping (osteotomy). ... Joint replacement. ... Regenerative medicine treatment.
M87.852 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other osteonecrosis, left femur. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Avascular necrosis (AVN), also called osteonecrosis, bone infarction, aseptic necrosis, and ischemic bone necrosis, is cellular death (necrosis) of bone components due to interruption of the blood supply. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. If avascular necrosis involves the bones of a joint, ...
Mechanism of injury / pathological process. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head, also known as osteonecrosis, although this term isn’t used that much anymore, is characterized by variable areas of dead trabecular bone and bone marrow, extending to and including the subchondral plate.
It is very important that avascular necrosis is diagnosed early in the disease process since the success of the treatment is related to the stage at which the treatment starts. There are several possible diagnostic modalities:
Pain medication such as NSAIDs and Opioid care for pain modulation . Despite intra-articular steroid injections been fast-acting pain relieving agents, they are normally short-termed and their use can cause significant deterioration of avascular necrosis.
Pharmacological Treatment. Vasodilators, e.g. iloprost (PGI2), are used to reduce intraosseous pressure thus, increased blood flow. Statins act to decrease the differentiation of stem cells into fat cells, by reducing intraosseous pressure for better perfusion.
Anticoagulants, e.g. enoxaparin are used to prevent the progression of osteonecrosis due to hypercoagulability and thromboembolic events. Bisphosphonates, such as alendronate, prevent osteoclasts action thus reducing bone resorption. Pain medication such as NSAIDs and Opioid care for pain modulation.
There are various methods to reduce weight-bearing. The concept of this method is to reduce the forces on the hip joint. This (interventional) treatment has various modalities, such as a cane, crutch, walker, or two crutches. Most studies have shown though that non-operative treatment yields poor results.
It has to be noted too, that osteonecrosis is a ( rare) complication of pregnancy.
avascular necrosis of bone. Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by necrotic changes in the bone tissue due to interruption of blood supply. Most often affecting the epiphysis of the long bones, the necrotic changes result in the collapse and the destruction of the bone structure.
Necrotic changes in the bone tissue due to interruption of blood supply. Most often affecting the epiphysis of the long bones, the necrotic changes result in the collapse and the destruction of the bone structure. Osteonecrosis occurs when your bones lose their blood supply.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
