M95: Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
M95.8: Other specified acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system
The condition referred to as "Other specified acquired deformities of the musculoskeletal system" encompasses abnormalities in the structure of the body's musculoskeletal framework but isn't included in the usual known disorders. Acquired signifies that these deformities weren't present at birth but developed sometime later. Deformities can occur in any part of the body's musculoskeletal system such as bones, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. They may be brought on by various factors including physical injuries, diseases such as arthritis, lifestyle factors, or aging. Common symptoms may include pain, stiffness, swelling, or difficulty with normal movement, and the progression and severity of these deformities can vary widely. Depending on which part of the body is affected, the deformity can impact the individual's ability to perform ordinary daily tasks and might cause significant discomfort.
