What is deforming Dorsopathy?
Other deforming dorsopathies Deformities of the spine characterized by abnormal bending or flexure in the vertebral column. They may be bending forward (kyphosis), backward (lordosis), or sideway (scoliosis).
What is the ICD 10 code for lumbar spondylolisthesis?
M43.16
Spondylolisthesis, lumbar region M43. 16 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
What is the ICD 10 code for post lumbar fusion?
M43.26
26.
What is Gibbus deformity?
Gibbus deformities are characterized by anterior collapse of one or more vertebral bodies resulting in kyphosis. These deformities usually arise from spinal infections, and are traditionally associated with tuberculosis; other pathogens are rarely reported in the literature.
What is spine disorder?
Spinal cord disorders are conditions that cause damage and deterioration to the spinal cord. These conditions may include: Tumors. Spinal stenosis. Herniated discs.
What is the diagnosis code for spondylolisthesis?
M43.10

Is a kyphoplasty a fusion?
The goal of the surgery is to fuse and repair the fracture, eliminate back pain, and restore posture and ease of movement. The most common surgical procedures for spinal compression fractures are lumbar fusion and vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. In a lumbar fusion, the vertebrae are connected with rods.
Is a laminectomy the same as a fusion?
Laminectomy (removal of lamina bone) and diskectomy (removing damaged disk tissue) are both types of spinal decompression surgery. Your provider may perform a diskectomy or other techniques (such as joining two vertebrae, called spinal fusion) during a laminectomy procedure.
What is the difference between Gibbus and kyphosis?
Structural kyphosis involves a problem with a part of the spine, such as a deformity in the vertebrae. The hump caused by structural kyphosis is much more angular than a hump caused by postural kyphosis. A particularly sharp, angular curve is called a gibbus deformity.
What causes Gibbus?
The most common cause of Gibbus deformity is tuberculosis osteomyelitis (1), although it may also result from metabolic disorders or congenital syndromes such as achondroplasia or cretinism and therefore is more common in children than adults.
