Osseous and sublux stenos of intvrt foramin of sacral region

This code signifies a narrowing of the openings (intervertebral foramina) in the sacral region of the spine, caused by bone overgrowth (osseous stenosis) and/or a partial dislocation of a vertebra (subluxation). This compression can impinge upon nerves exiting the spinal canal, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states osseous and/or subluxation-related stenosis affecting the intervertebral foramina specifically in the sacral region. This diagnosis is typically supported by imaging studies (e.g., MRI, CT scan) demonstrating the narrowing and clinical findings consistent with nerve root compression.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "sacral region" for the stenosis; avoid using this code for other spinal regions.
• Distinguish between osseous/subluxation stenosis and other forms of stenosis (e.g., discogenic, ligamentous) if specified.
• Code any associated neurological deficits (e.g., radiculopathy) separately, as applicable.
