There is, unfortunately, still no ICD-10 code for facet syndrome. But, M53. 8- other specified dorsopathiescan be used just like the old ICD-9 code. It is the "other" code, which means it can be used for a specified condition like facet syndrome.

Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is a congenital anomaly of the spine that arises because of mutations in the Hox genes, giving rise to sacralization (fifth lumbar vertebra shows assimilation to the sacrum) and lumbarization (first sacral vertebra shows lumbar configuration).
This age-related condition is called lumbar spondylosis. It's also frequently called arthritis of the lower back and results in chronic lower back pain that worsens with age and increases with movement. When this condition occurs in the neck, it's called cervical spondylosis.
Thoracic facet syndrome, also known as thoracic facet disease or thoracic osteoarthritis, is a degenerative spine condition in which the facet joints of the thoracic (middle) region of spine deteriorate over time and become painful and stiff.

A type II odontoid fracture is a break that occurs through a specific part of C2, the second bone in the neck. Bones of the spine are called vertebrae. The bone involved in odontoid fracture is the second vertebra, C2, high up in the neck.
Type 2. This fracture occurs when the growth plate is hit and splits away from the joint along with a small piece of the bone shaft. This is the most common type and happens most often in children over 10.
A type II odontoid fracture is inherently unstable, and a rigid cervical orthosis is not the ideal treatment for such an injury. In the elderly population, many are not surgical candidates (due to comorbidities or poor bone quality), and the elderly typically poorly tolerate a halo vest immobilization.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as K31.5.
