Hydroxyapatite deposition disease, right shoulder

This code signifies a condition characterized by the abnormal deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals within the soft tissues surrounding the right shoulder joint. This crystalline deposition often leads to inflammation, pain, and restricted range of motion in the affected shoulder.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of hydroxyapatite deposition disease affecting the right shoulder. This diagnosis is typically supported by imaging studies (e.g., X-ray, ultrasound) demonstrating calcific deposits and clinical findings consistent with rotator cuff tendinopathy or bursitis.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right shoulder" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from other calcific tendinopathies or bursitis not explicitly identified as hydroxyapatite deposition disease.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis when it is the main reason for the encounter.
