M95: Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
M95.5: Acquired deformity of pelvis
Acquired deformity of the pelvis is a condition characterized by an abnormal change in the shape or structure of the pelvic region, which is not present at birth but develops over time. The pelvic deformity can occur as a result of various factors such as trauma, disease, or prolonged exposure to abnormal stress or pressure. These changes can cause significant discomfort and impair the individual's ability to move or walk properly. Symptoms may include pain in the lower back or hip area, difficulty walking, and changes in posture or gait. The progression of the condition and its severity can significantly vary from one individual to another, depending on the underlying cause and the individual's overall health status. It's important to note that an acquired pelvic deformity is not a disease in itself, but rather, it's often a symptom or consequence of an underlying medical condition or injury.
