0.000What This Code Means
Bone disease that develops as a long-term consequence of polio infection, affecting the right thigh.
Coding Tips
- •This code is used for post-polio sequelae affecting bone structure; ensure polio history is documented
- •Verify laterality is clearly documented as right before assigning this code
Clinical Significance
Right thigh post-polio osteopathy represents chronic bone changes in the right femur following poliomyelitis infection, potentially affecting hip and knee function as well as weight-bearing capacity. This condition can significantly impact mobility and requires ongoing orthopedic management.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Clear history of previous poliomyelitis infection
- ✓Specific identification of right thigh (femoral) involvement
- ✓Imaging evidence of post-polio osteopathic changes
- ✓Assessment of right hip and knee function
- ✓Weight-bearing capacity and gait analysis
- ✓Pain evaluation and mobility limitations
- ✓Physical therapy needs and assistive device requirements
- ✓Integration with comprehensive post-polio syndrome care
Commonly Confused Codes
G14 — Post-polio syndrome primarily affects neurological functionM25.551 — Right thigh pain is symptomatic, not structural bone diseaseS72.001A — Femoral fracture is acute injury, not chronic bone diseaseM16.11 — Primary hip osteoarthritis is degenerative, not post-infectiousM87.851 — Other osteonecrosis has different underlying pathophysiology
