Other bursal cyst, other site. M71.38 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM M71.38 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M71.38 - other international versions of ICD-10 M71.38 may differ.
Facet cysts or synovial cysts, are fluid-filled sacs located in the joints of the spine. They typically develop as a result of a degeneration of the spine. This is most commonly due to age. While they can be found throughout the spine, they are most commonly located in the lumbar region.
M71. 20 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 M71. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Synovial cysts are abnormal fluid-filled sacs in joints in the spine. These cysts are benign, which means they are not cancerous. Synovial cysts typically develop as a result of degenerative changes that occur with aging. They can be found throughout the spine, but are most common in the lumbar region (low back).
If the only documentation is facet arthropathy the index must be followed and the correct code assignment will be M46. 96 Unspecified inflammatory spondylopathy, lumbar region.
Tarlov cysts are sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid that most often affect nerve roots in the sacrum, the group of bones at the base of the spine.
Disease definition. A disorder that is characterized by the presence of cerebrospinal fluid-filled nerve root cysts most commonly found at the sacral level of the spine, although they can be found in any section of the spine, which can cause progressively painful radiculopathy.
Synovial cysts develop as a result of degeneration in the facet joint in the lumbar spine. It is typically a process that only happens in the lumbar spine, and it almost always develops at the L4-L5 level (rarely at L3-L4).
A ganglion cyst, also known as a synovial cyst, is a benign, fluid-filled cyst found in or around a joint. It is quite common and benign, but it can also be painful and disfiguring. When located inside a joint, a ganglion cyst can limit motion.
The facet joints are the connections between the bones of the spine. The nerve roots pass through these joints to go from the spinal cord to the arms, legs and other parts of the body. These joints also allow the spine to bend and twist, and they keep the back from slipping too far forward or twisting without limits.
M12. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Spondylosis (aka Facet Pain or Facet Disease) is often used interchangeably with osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, but they are in fact distinct conditions (which may occur together) with different treatment protocols. Recognizing this is crucial.
Facet joint arthrosis is a pathological process involving the failure of the synovial facet joints.[5] Degenerative changes begin with cartilage degradation, leading to the formation of erosions and joint space narrowing, and eventually sclerosis of subchondral bone.
