Osteopathy after poliomyelitis, right ankle and foot

This code signifies a bone disorder or disease affecting the right ankle and foot that developed as a sequela of poliomyelitis. It describes a chronic musculoskeletal complication, often involving bone deformities, pain, or functional impairment, directly attributable to the prior polio infection.

Use this code for patients presenting with osteopathic conditions of the right ankle and foot where medical documentation clearly links the etiology to a history of poliomyelitis. This typically applies to individuals experiencing late effects of polio, such as post-polio syndrome, manifesting as bone pathology in the specified anatomical region.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "after poliomyelitis" or "post-polio" in relation to the osteopathy.
• Do not confuse with general osteopathy codes (M89.8x) or other causes of bone disorders.
• Always sequence a code for the history of poliomyelitis (e.g., B91) as a secondary diagnosis to establish the causal link.
