M95-M99: Other disorders of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue

M95: Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue

The category M95 encompasses a range of conditions known as "Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue." These conditions occur postnatally, meaning they are not present at birth but develop later in life due to various factors. They could include acquired deformities such as an abnormal curvature of the spine (such as scoliosis or kyphosis), joint deformities, or deformities in the connective tissue resulting from injuries, diseases, or aging. The signs and symptoms differ based on the specific condition and area of the body that's affected, but they generally involve changes in shape, size, or functioning of the affected part. These deformities can progressively worsen over time and may influence the individual's mobility and overall quality of life. It's important to note that these conditions can affect anyone, regardless of their age or sex.
