Thoracogenic scoliosis (M41.3) is not a very commonly used code; however, when it is used, it is often used incorrectly. Literally interpreted, “thoracogenic” means, “arising in the thoracic spine.” Thus, one might incorrectly use this code for a case of scoliosis which began in the thoracic spine.

The current code, M54. 5 (Low back pain), will be expanded into three more specific codes: M54. 50 (Low back pain, unspecified)
ICD-10 code M54. 5, low back pain, effective October 1, 2021.
poor posture (postural kyphosis) – slouching, leaning back in chairs and carrying heavy bags can stretch supporting muscles and ligaments, which can increase spinal curvature. abnormally shaped vertebrae (Scheuermann's kyphosis) – if the vertebrae don't develop properly, they can end up being out of position.
M41. 35 - Thoracogenic scoliosis, thoracolumbar region. ICD-10-CM.
The main signs of Scheuermann's kyphosis are:A rounded, hunched back. Sometimes the rounding is hard to see. Other times it can be more noticeable. Kids can't straighten their curve by standing up.Back pain. About half of kids with Scheuermann's kyphosis have back pain.
Spondylosis refers to the natural wear and tear that can happen in the spine. Also called spinal osteoarthritis, it can affect any region of the spine, including the cervical (neck) or lower back.
Spondylosis with myelopathy refers to spondylosis that is injuring the spinal cord. Spondylosis without myelopathy refers to spondylosis without any injury to the spinal cord. Symptoms of myelopathy include numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Your thoracic spine is the middle section of your spine. It starts at the base of your neck and ends at the bottom of your ribs. It's the longest section of your spine. Your thoracic spine consists of 12 vertebrae, labeled T1 through T12.
Thoracogenic scoliosis (M41.3) is not a very commonly used code; however, when it is used, it is often used incorrectly. Literally interpreted, “thoracogenic” means, “arising in the thoracic spine.” Thus, one might incorrectly use this code for a case of scoliosis which began in the thoracic spine. However, the Scoliosis Research Society defines thoracogenic scoliosis as, “spinal curvature attributable to disease or operative trauma in or on the thoracic cage.” In reality, this code should only be used when the patient has a case of scoliosis that arose either as a consequence of an operation (such as a thoracotomy or thoracoplasty), or due to a non-neuromuscular disease process, such as a lymphoma.
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).
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).
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.
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.
Kyphoscoliotic heart disease (I27.1) is used only in a specific set of circumstances: when lateral curvature of the spine (scoliosis) accompanied by thoracic hyperkyphosis causes difficulty breathing due to hypoxemia, which in turn leads to pulmonary hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy.
