Post-operative cases of scoliosis will need to be accompanied by the proper diagnosis code for the scoliosis (M41.12 for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, for example), as well as the code Z98.1 (arthrodesis status).
Before we go into the specific codes for scoliosis, let’s first take a look at what goes into classifying the condition, such as time of diagnosis, causation, and curvature location.

The code M41 for scoliosis includes kyphoscoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine accompanied by hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine), but excludes cases of scoliosis caused by bony malformations (congenital), as well as cases of scoliosis which arose as a consequence of surgery or other procedures (post-procedural).
Post-operative cases of scoliosis will need to be accompanied by the proper diagnosis code for the scoliosis (M41.12 for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, for example), as well as the code Z98.1 (arthrodesis status). This code is grouped within the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG) as a factor influencing health status, and can be used to indicate a variety of types of surgically-induced fusions (as opposed to congenital).
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (M41.12), commonly abbreviated AIS, is diagnosed after the age of 10 in a skeletally-immature patient (typically up to 17 years of age). It is often quoted that AIS comprises 80% of all scoliosis cases; one should keep in mind that school scoliosis screenings are typically conducted on adolescents, and that we generally stop looking after that. Although the incidence of scoliosis in adolescents is reported to be between 2% to 4.5%, when adults are examined for signs of scoliosis, the incidence has been reported at 12%, 20%, or even 66%. Screening may miss many mild cases of scoliosis, or scoliosis could be developing after the screenings; in either case, this illustrates the importance of screening for scoliosis in all of your patients – not just adolescents. When conducting scoliosis screenings, be sure to use a scoliometer; this device significantly improves the effectiveness of the examination.
Congenital scoliosis due to congenital bony malformation (Q76.3) would be the appropriate code to use in an individual of any age, whose scoliosis developed due to a hemivertebra or other bony malformation that was present at birth. Unlike idiopathic cases, cases of congenital scoliosis never spontaneously resolve.
Postradiation scoliosis (M96.5) is subtly different from thoracogenic scoliosis. It would be used when the radiation treatment for a neuroblastoma, lymphoma, or similar condition induces a scoliosis, as opposed to the disease itself causing the scoliosis.
Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (M41.11) is diagnosed from 3 to 9 years of age. Between the ages of 3 to 6 is considered early-onset juvenile scoliosis; 7 to 9 is considered late-onset juvenile scoliosis; the prognosis is poorer in younger patients, as scoliosis progresses at a higher rate when the patient has growth potential remaining.
It is more common in males than in females. Many cases of idiopathic infantile scoliosis tend to spontaneously resolve within a few years ; however, those that do not stand a great risk of progressing to severe levels later in life.
