There are three subcategories for reporting this condition using ICD-10-CM, including M86. 0 Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, M86. 1 Other acute osteomyelitis, and M86. 2 Sub-acute osteomyelitis.
Subacute osteomyelitis is a hematogenous infection of bone characterized by an insidious course (longer than 2 weeks), and paucity of systemic symptoms with local tenderness or swelling are the only clinical signs.
ICD-10 code T81. 4 for Infection following a procedure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
ICD-10-CM Code for Other acute osteomyelitis, right ankle and foot M86. 171.
Acute osteomyelitis develops within two weeks after disease onset, subacute osteomyelitis within one to several months and chronic osteomyelitis after a few months. Because osteomyelitis is a complex disease state, various classification systems have emerged beyond the general categories of acute, subacute and chronic.
Acute osteomyelitis typically presents two weeks after bone infection, characterised by inflammatory bone changes. By contrast, chronic osteomyelitis typically presents six or more weeks after bone infection and is characterised by the presence of bone destruction and formation of sequestra.
Postoperative wound infection is classified to ICD-9-CM code 998.59, Other postoperative infection. Code 998.59 also includes postoperative intra-abdominal abscess, postoperative stitch abscess, postoperative subphrenic abscess, postoperative wound abscess, and postoperative septicemia.

Osteomyelitis is inflammation or swelling that occurs in the bone. It can result from an infection somewhere else in the body that has spread to the bone, or it can start in the bone — often as a result of an injury. Osteomyelitis is more common in younger children (five and under) but can happen at any age.
M86.142Other acute osteomyelitis, left hand The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M86. 142 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Acute osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone caused by an infectious organism. The condition develops rapidly during the course of several days. It is characterized by localized pain, soft-tissue swelling, and tissue warmth at the site of the infection, plus systemic symptoms such as fever, irritability, fatigue, and nausea.
Chronic multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare condition that also is referred to as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, or SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis). The cause of the condition is unknown, and tissue cultures typically fail to identify any infectious organism.
As with all infectious processes in which the infectious agent is not a component of the code that describes the condition, an additional code from categories B95-B97 should be assigned to identify the infectious agent, assuming it can be identified. Any major osseous defects also should be identified with a code from subcategory M89.7.
Multiple sites. Other osteomyelitis (M86.8) which includes Brodie’s abscess, requires only the general region (shoulder, upper arm, forearm, hand, thigh, lower leg, ankle/foot, other site, and unspecified site). Laterality is not a component of codes in category M86.8. Unspecified osteomyelitis (M86.9) is not specific to a site.
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone that typically is further differentiated as acute, sub-acute, or chronic. In ICD-9-CM, documentation of the general site of the inflammation/infection (such as shoulder region, forearm, or ankle), along with identification of the inflammation/infection as a current acute/sub-acute infection or a chronic condition, is all that is required to assign the most specific code.
Chronic osteomyelitis is a severe, persistent inflammation/infection that can recur and be difficult to treat. A chronic infection also may present with a draining sinus, presenting a greater risk for complications, such as major bo ny defects.
