0.000What This Code Means
Bone disease that develops as a long-term consequence of polio infection, affecting the left upper arm.
Coding Tips
- •This code is used for post-polio sequelae affecting bone structure; ensure polio history is documented
- •Verify laterality is clearly documented as left before assigning this code
Clinical Significance
Left upper arm post-polio osteopathy involves chronic bone deterioration in the left humerus as a late consequence of poliomyelitis infection, potentially compromising left arm function and strength. This condition represents a significant long-term sequela requiring specialized care.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Clear history of previous poliomyelitis infection
- ✓Specific documentation of left upper arm bone involvement
- ✓Current imaging showing post-polio osteopathic changes
- ✓Left arm functional assessment including strength testing
- ✓Pain quantification and impact on daily activities
- ✓Occupational therapy evaluation and recommendations
- ✓Adaptive equipment needs and environmental modifications
- ✓Integration with comprehensive post-polio syndrome care
