:confused: Woud anybody suggest the appropriate ICD-9?
previous idagnoses was 782.2 (mass swelling ) afer x-ray..."Fibrous Cortical Defect"
Thank you
 
Mass

What about 733.90? However, this is an unspecified code. I'd talk to your provider to see if he/she can help you come up with something more specific.
 
This was diagnosed by radiologist. Cartliage is exposed and from outside it looks swollen and patient feels pain sometime. ....to short "exposed cartliage"
acqured or congenital not clear.....Plesae give me any suggestion.
Thank you:confused:
 
Fibrous Cortical Defect it's a common small defect of a bone, in which the cortex is filled with fibrous tissue. Also called as Non -Ossifying Fibroma.

So I think, 733.29 is appropriate code.

Go thro' Fibroma --> nonosteogenic(i.e. Nonossifying), which stated see also

Dysplasia - -> Fibrous - -> Bone - -> 733.29.

Hope this helps. :)
