Osteochondritis dissecans, right knee M93. 261 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M93. 261 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Osteochondritis Dissecans (os tee o kon DRY tiss DIS uh kanz) (OCD) is a condition that develops in the joints, most often in children and adolescents. OCD lesions can develop when the area of bone beneath the cartilage is injured. In children, they are most often found in the knee and elbow.
Osteochondritis dissecans (os-tee-o-kon-DRY-tis DIS-uh-kanz) is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint dies due to lack of blood flow. This bone and cartilage can then break loose, causing pain and possibly hindering joint motion.
Osteochondral lesions or osteochondritis dessicans can occur in any joint, but are most common in the knee and ankle. Such lesions are a tear or fracture in the cartilage covering one of the bones in a joint. The cartilage can be torn, crushed or damaged and, in rare cases, a cyst can form in the cartilage.
Abstract. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a condition in which a portion of articular cartilage separates from the bone together with the underlying subchondral bone. Its classical localization is the medial femoral condyle.
An osteochondral defect, also commonly known as osteochondritis dissecans, of the knee refers to a damage or injury to the smooth articular cartilage surrounding the knee joint and the bone underneath the cartilage.
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a common cause of knee pain and dysfunction among skeletally immature and young adult patients.
Osteochondrosis is a failure of endochondral ossification, and this term refers to the disease in general. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) refers to the combination of dissecting lesions of articular cartilage, communication of synovial fluid into the subchondral bone, and the resulting synovitis.
Instead, OCD is a problem of the bone underlying the cartilage, which may secondarily affect the articular cartilage. Left untreated, OCD can lead to the development of degenerative arthritis secondary to joint incongruity and abnormal wear patterns.
Osteochondritis dissecans, unspecified ankle and joints of foot. M93. 279 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Osteochondral defects of the patella are a common result of patellar dislocation or subluxation and may go undetected initially. These lesions may cause significant symptoms and may be coupled with recurrent instability. Options for management of symptomatic cartilage lesions of the knee continue to expand.
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum is most often seen in adolescents who participate in sports that involve repetitive loading of the elbow. Unstable defects typically require surgical intervention that involves fragment fixation, debridement, or reconstruction with an osteochondral autograft transfer.
