Other specified disorders of synovium, right hip

This code signifies a non-specific, non-infectious disorder affecting the synovial membrane of the right hip joint, not otherwise classified under more specific diagnoses. It encompasses various conditions of the synovium that lead to pain, swelling, or limited range of motion in the hip, but do not fit into other defined categories.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a disorder of the right hip synovium that is not specified as synovitis, tenosynovitis, or other more precise synovial conditions. Supporting documentation should detail the affected joint (right hip) and the nature of the synovial abnormality, ruling out more specific diagnoses.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "right hip" and a "disorder of synovium" that is not more specifically categorized.
• Avoid using this code if a more precise diagnosis, such as pigmented villonodular synovitis (M67.8A-), is documented.
• Always review for laterality; this code is specific to the right hip.
