Osteitis condensans, right shoulder

This code describes a non-inflammatory sclerosis of bone, specifically affecting the right shoulder. It typically presents as increased bone density, often triangular in shape, at the inferior aspect of the clavicle or glenoid, without evidence of infection or tumor.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states "osteitis condensans" affecting the right shoulder. This diagnosis is often made radiographically, so imaging reports confirming increased bone density consistent with osteitis condensans in the specified location are key.

• Ensure the laterality (right shoulder) is clearly documented.
• Differentiate from osteomyelitis or other inflammatory bone conditions.
• This is a diagnosis code; it does not describe a procedure or service.
