M43.16ICD-10 | Spondylolisthesis, lumbar region (M43. 16)
06.
Code Classification M43. 17 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, lumbosacral region.
Spondylolysis is a stress fracture through the pars interarticularis of the lumbar vertebrae. The pars interarticularis is a thin bone segment joining two vertebrae. It is the most likely area to be affected by repetitive stress.
In anterolisthesis, the upper vertebral body is positioned abnormally compared to the vertebral body below it. More specifically, the upper vertebral body slips forward on the one below. The amount of slippage is graded on a scale from 1 to 4. Grade 1 is mild (20% slippage), while grade 4 is severe (100% slippage).
The definition of pars interarticularis defect is a unilateral or bilateral overuse or fatigue stress fracture involving the pars interarticularis of the posterior vertebral arch. This injury occurs almost exclusively in the lower lumbar region, most often at L5 [1].Jun 20, 2021

M19.90ICD-10 code M19. 90 for Unspecified osteoarthritis, unspecified site is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
Isthmic spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below. It's caused by a defect, or fracture, of the pars interarticularis, a bone that connects the upper and lower facet joints.
Importantly, spondylolysis only refers to the separation of the pars interarticularis (a small bony arch in the back of the spine between the facet joints), whereas spondylolisthesis refers to anterior slippage of one vertebra over another (in the front of the spine).
4 There are five grades of spondylolisthesis in the Myerding classification. Grade I is less than 25 percent slippage, grade II is 26–50% slippage, grade III is 51–75% slippage, grade IV is 76–100% slippage, and grade V is over 100% slippage and is referred to as spondyloptosis.
fifth lumbar spineThe fifth lumbar spine vertebrae (L5) is part of the greater lumbar region. To the human eye, this is the curve just above the buttocks, which is also commonly referred to as the small of the back.
Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of a vertebra, especially the fifth lumbar vertebra, most commonly occurring after a fracture. Backward displacement is referred to as retrolisthesis.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M43.17 and a single ICD9 code, 738.4 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
M43.17 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, lumbosacral region. The code M43.17 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Your backbone, or spine, is made up of 26 bone discs called vertebrae. The vertebrae protect your spinal cord and allow you to stand and bend. A number of problems can change the structure of the spine or damage the vertebrae and surrounding tissue. They include
Bone changes that come with age, such as spinal stenosis and herniated disks. Spinal diseases often cause pain when bone changes put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. They can also limit movement. Treatments differ by disease, but sometimes they include back braces and surgery.
The ICD code M431 is used to code Spondylolisthesis. Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of a vertebra, especially the fifth lumbar vertebra, most commonly occurring after a fracture. Backward displacement is referred to as retrolisthesis. Specialty:
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here.". Acute traumatic of lumbosacral region - instead, use code S33.1. Acute traumatic of sites other than lumbosacral- code to Fracture, vertebra, by region.

M43.16 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Spondylolisthesis, lumbar region . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

Primary care physicians are often the first to treat spondylolisthesis and the patient will then be evaluated by chiropractors or spine surgeons along with their team of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and pain management specialists.
The procedure may include adjusting the vertebrae with plates, wires, rods, or screws. Physicians, chiropractors or physical therapists treating anterolisthesis can rely on an experienced medical billing company to submit their medical claims without errors.
During spinal fusion procedure, a piece of bone is transplanted into the back of the spine, which is meant to stabilize the spine. Surgery is considered as a last option for the treatment of anterolisthesis, if the vertebra continues to slip or if pain persists despite all the other treatments.
Ultrasound, electric stimulation, hot/cold packs or manual therapy can reduce pain and muscle spasms. Other options include decompression, and spinal fusion. In decompression procedure, bone or tissue is removed to release pressure on the vertebrae and associated nerves.
At the same time, for severe cases physical therapy, chiropractic therapy or even surgery may be needed. Physical therapy can treat complicated symptoms along with exercise programs to improve mobility of the spine, strengthen the abdominal/back muscles, and lessen painful movement of the bones in the affected area.
Anterolisthesis – Treatment and Management Options. Depending on the patient’s condition, treatment options can range from bed rest to surgery. If the patient becomes symptomatic, rest will be recommended to eliminate the pain, and they can resume normal activities when the pain resolves.
