M95: Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
M95.9: Acquired deformity of musculoskeletal system, unspecified
Acquired deformity of the musculoskeletal system, unspecified, refers to a specific change in the normal structure or alignment of any part of the body's musculoskeletal system that happens after birth. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. An acquired deformity may result from various factors such as injury, illness, or disease, including arthritis, infections, tumors, or conditions affecting the nerves, like cerebral palsy or stroke. The deformities presents themselves in various ways, usually seen as physical changes like misshapen bones, abnormal curvatures, or impaired movement. They can range in severity and may cause symptoms like pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, muscle weakness, and in extreme cases, loss of function of the affected body part. The specific attributes and symptoms would be identified at the time of diagnosis by medical professionals.
