Chapter 15 Flashcards
Myopathy
disease of a muscle (plural: myopathies)
Arthropathy
disease or dysfunction of a joint (plural arthopathies)
Chondropathy
disease affecting the cartilage (plural: chondropathies)
dorsopathy
disease affecting the back of the torso (plural:dorsopathies)
spondylopathy
disease affecting the vertebrae (plural: spondylopathies)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
autoimmune systemic inflammatory disease that affects joints as well as the surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments
to complete the code you will need to identify the anatomical site- there may be more than one. ICD 10 Will provide you with a combination code
Genu recurvatum
the backward curving of the knee joint, as well as other bowing of the long bones of the leg.
Gout aka Gouty arthritis
is the result of the buildup of uric acid in the body
osteoarthritis
chronic degeneration of the articular cartilage simultaneous with the formation of bone spurs on the underlying bone with a joint.
Cervical Verebrae
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 and C7
atlas then the axis that run down the posterior (back ) of the neck to the top of the shoulder area
Thoracic vertebrae
T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T10 T11 and T12
run along the posterior segment of the torso (the thoracic cavity) the rib cage connects at these points
Lumbar vertebrae
L1 L2 L3 L4 and L5
located at approximately the waist/hips area
Sacrum
S1 S2 S3 S4 and S5
triangular shaped bone that begins as five individual vertebrae, which fuse together by the time the average person is in his or her mid 20s
Coccyx
also known as the tailbone
this bottommost tip of the spinal column begins as three to five individual vertebrae, which fuse together in adulthood. for the average person this fusion begins in the mid-twenties and the vertebrae have completely fused into one bone by middle age.
A
“Active treatment” not the relationship between physician and patient
D
follow up for routine healing; active treatment has been completed
G
subsequent care for a pathological fracture with delayed healing
K
subsequent care provided for a non union
P
subsequent care for a malunion
S
care for any sequela (late effect)
Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE)
an autoimmune disease affecting the joints, kidneys, brain, skin and other organs.
Pathological Fracture
is when a bone breaks due to a disease
Atlas
C1- the first cervical vertebra
Vertebra
a bone that is a part of the construction of the spinal column (plural vertebrae)
Intervertebral Disc
a fibrocartilage segment that lies between vertebrae of the spinal column and provides cushioning and support
axis
second cervical vertebra
kyphosis
is the bending of the vertebral column, most often at the thoracic vertebrae
scoliosis
similar to kyphosis, in that it results in a bending of the spinal column however with scoliosis, the bend is a sideways rather than forward
infantile idiopathic scoliosis
identified prior to the age of 4 equally in boys and girls and more than 90 percent of these cases resolve without medical treatment
Fibromyalgia aka myofibrositis or fibromyoitis
causes a patent to experience tenderness om his or her extremities as well as his or her neck and shoulders, back and hips
Myoitis
identifies the inflammation of a muscle caused by a muscle strain
anatomical site is needed when coding
Polymyositis
systemic rheumatic disorder evidenced by inflammatory and degenerative changes in the muscles
Dermatopolymyositis
systemic rheumatic disorder characterized by inflammatory and degenerative changes in the skin and muscles
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM)
systemic, autoimmune, inflammatory muscle condition that often appears with vasculopathy in children 18 years of age or younger
Burtitis
a painful inflammation of a bursa, most often the result of recurring trauma
Epicondylitis
an inflammation of the elbow joint that typically begins as a small tear in the muscle and then is aggravated by activities
Achilles tendon contracture
A shortening of the tendocalcaneus (heel cord) which is caused by chronic poor posture, continual wearing of high-heeled shoes or landing on the ball of the foot rather than the heel while jogging or is a manifestation of cerebral palsy or poliomyelitis.
Lateral epicondylitis aka
tennis elbow
medial epicondylitis aka
golfers elbow
tortilcollis
condition in which the sternocleidomastoid muscles becomes spasmed (shortened) causing the head to bend to one side and the chin to opposite side.
muscle spasms aka muscle cramps
are involuntary twitches and are often caused by myositis or fibromyositis.
type III tramatic spondyolisthesis of axis (C2)
is a displacement of the vertebra anteriorly over the vertebra below it.
