Periprosth osteolysis of internal prosthetic r hip jt, init

Periprosthetic osteolysis of internal prosthetic right hip joint, initial encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies bone loss around the components of a prosthetic right hip joint, specifically caused by the body's reaction to wear particles from the implant. This osteolysis can lead to loosening of the prosthesis and potential implant failure.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when a patient presents for the initial diagnosis and treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis affecting their right hip replacement. This includes cases where imaging studies confirm bone resorption around the implant.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation clearly specifies the right hip and confirms osteolysis as the cause of the periprosthetic issue.
The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the condition.
Do not use this code for mechanical loosening without documented osteolysis.
