What This Code Means

Abnormal movement or weakness at the junction between the lower back and sacrum, causing instability and potential pain or functional impairment.

Coding Tips

  • •Lumbosacral region is a common site of instability; ensure this specific region is documented rather than just 'lumbar'
  • •Consider relationship to sacroiliac joint dysfunction which may be coded separately
