Osteitis deformans of right shoulder

This code represents Paget's disease affecting the bones of the right shoulder. It is a chronic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, leading to enlarged, misshapen, and weakened bones in this specific anatomical location.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of Paget's disease (osteitis deformans) specifically impacting the right shoulder. Supporting documentation would include physician notes detailing diagnostic findings such as characteristic radiographic changes, elevated alkaline phosphatase, or bone biopsy results confirming Paget's disease localized to the right shoulder.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right shoulder" to use this laterality-specific code.
• Do not confuse with other forms of osteitis or localized inflammatory conditions; this code is specific to Paget's disease.
• Consider additional codes for any associated pathological fractures or other complications of Paget's disease.
