Osteitis deformans of right thigh

This code signifies Paget's disease affecting the right femur. It describes a chronic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, leading to enlarged and weakened bone structure specifically in the right thigh.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of Paget's disease (osteitis deformans) localized to the right femur. This diagnosis is typically confirmed through imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, bone scans) and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right thigh" or "right femur."
• Do not confuse with other bone disorders like osteoporosis or osteomyelitis.
• Code any associated pathological fractures separately if documented.
