M43. 16 - Spondylolisthesis, lumbar region. ICD-10-CM.
Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below. Degenerative spondylolisthesis, usually occurs in the lumbar spine, especially at L4-L5. It is the result of degenerative changes in the vertebral structure that cause the joints between the vertebrae to slip forward.
Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition that causes lower back pain. It occurs when one of your vertebrae, the bones of your spine, slips out of place onto the vertebra below it. Most of the time, nonsurgical treatment can relieve your symptoms. If you have severe spondylolisthesis, surgery is successful in most cases.
ICD-10-CM Code for Other intervertebral disc degeneration, lumbar region M51. 36.
Spondylosis involves the separation of the pars interarticularis. In contrast, spondylolisthesis is defined by a slipped vertebra. When one bone of the spine slips forward over another, it causes damage to the spinal structure.
There are six different types of spondylolisthesis: traumatic, iatrogenic, congenital, degenerative, pathologic, and isthmic. This type of structural abnormality of the spine can be found in all regions (i.e. cervical, thoracic, and lumbar), but most frequently occurs in the lumbar spine.
Spondylolisthesis occurs when a piece of the spinal bone (vertebrae) slips out of alignment and onto the bone below it. This can be caused by degeneration of the vertebrae or disc, trauma, fracture, or genetics. It most commonly occurs in the lower spine.
What is Spondylolisthesis? Spondylolisthesis occurs when one of the lumbar vertebrae in the spine moves forward relative to the vertebrae below it, causing pain or weakness. The most common area for spondylolisthesis to occur is within the bottom level of the lumbar spine between L5-S1.
If the problem of spondylolisthesis occurs in the spine above L1 or L2 (first or second lumbar vertebra), stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal) can develop. The shift of the vertebra closes down the canal opening where the spinal cord travels. Then pressure directly on the spinal cord can cause painful symptoms.
According to Coding Clinic: “Assign code M16. 0—Bilateral primary osteoarthritis of hip for degenerative changes of hips”. Coding Clinic's rationale is, “ICD-10- CM's Alphabetic Index under “Degeneration, joint disease” instructs “see Osteoarthritis.”
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) affects the discs that separate the spine bones. As you age, the spine begins to show signs of wear and tear as the discs dry out and shrink. These age-related changes can lead to arthritis, disc herniation, or spinal stenosis. Pressure on the spinal cord and nerves may cause pain.
