Juvenile osteochondrosis of tibia tubercle, right leg

This code signifies Osgood-Schlatter disease affecting the right leg. It is a painful inflammation and microtrauma of the patellar ligament at its insertion on the tibial tuberosity, typically seen in adolescents during growth spurts.

Use this code for a confirmed diagnosis of juvenile osteochondrosis specifically involving the tibial tubercle of the right lower extremity. Documentation should clearly state "Osgood-Schlatter disease, right leg" or "osteochondrosis of right tibia tubercle."

• Ensure laterality is precisely documented and coded (right vs. left vs. bilateral).
• Do not confuse with other osteochondroses affecting different anatomical sites.
• This code is typically a primary diagnosis for Osgood-Schlatter disease.
