Calcium deposit in bursa, right hip

This code signifies the presence of calcific deposits within the bursa surrounding the right hip joint. This condition, often referred to as calcific bursitis, typically results in pain and inflammation due to the irritation caused by the calcium accumulation.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states calcification within a bursa of the right hip. This diagnosis is commonly supported by imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI, which visualize the calcium deposits.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right hip"; avoid using for unspecified or left hip involvement.
• Distinguish from calcific tendinitis (M65.2x) or other calcifications not specifically within a bursa.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis if it is the main reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it's an associated condition.
