M47.26M47. 26 - Other spondylosis with radiculopathy, lumbar region. ICD-10-CM.
What is Lumbar Spondylosis? Lumbar spondylosis is an age-related degeneration of the vertebrae and disks of the lower back. These changes are often called degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis. The common condition is marked by the breakdown of one or more of the disks that separate the bones of the spine.
Definition. Lumbar spondylosis (LS) is a radiographic diagnosis that refers to degenerative changes of the discs, vertebral bodies and paired zygapophysial joints (z-joints) of the lumbar spineand may be associated with low back pain (LBP). does not rely on clinical findings.Feb 14, 2018

Most often, the term spondylosis is used to describe osteoarthritis of the spine, but it is also commonly used to describe any manner of spinal degeneration.
Spondylosis with Radiculopathy: Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the spine is compressed or irritated at the point where it branches to the spinal cord. Any type of spinal degeneration can cause radiculopathy, hence why it's associated with spondylosis.Apr 23, 2018
Myelopathy is the result of spinal cord compression. The difference is that myelopathy affects the entire spinal cord. In comparison, radiculopathy refers to compression on an individual nerve root. However, myelopathy may sometimes be accompanied by radiculopathy.
Spondylosis refers to degenerative, or age-related, changes in the spine. These changes include disc degeneration, bone spurs, and thickened ligaments. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy, therefore, is myelopathy (spinal cord damage) caused by spondylosis (degeneration) in the cervical spine (neck).
10 for radiculopathy should be used. There are other codes for the lumbar, cervical and thoracic region to use when radiculopathy of those regions is provided in the assessment. The ICD 10 code for low back pain with radiculopathy is M54. 10.
M54.5Code M54. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Low Back Pain (LBP). This is sometimes referred to as lumbago.
