Periprosth osteolysis of internal prosthetic l hip jt, subs

Periprosthetic osteolysis of internal prosthetic left hip joint, subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies the breakdown of bone tissue around the left hip joint replacement, caused by the body's reaction to wear particles from the prosthesis. This osteolysis can lead to loosening of the implant and may necessitate revision surgery.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient previously diagnosed with periprosthetic osteolysis affecting their left hip implant. This includes encounters for monitoring, conservative management, or pre-operative assessments for revision surgery.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "left hip" and confirms the osteolysis is "periprosthetic."
The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
Do not use for initial diagnosis or for sequelae of the condition.
