How is M87.05 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to M87.05. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Osteonecrosis › idiopathic aseptic › femur

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M86-M90

The conditions below can never be reported together with M87.05 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • postprocedural osteopathies (M96.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M87

The conditions below can never be reported together with M87.05 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • juvenile osteonecrosis (M91-M92)
  • osteochondropathies (M90-M93)
