M95-M99: Other disorders of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
M96: Postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders, not elsewhere classified
The group of conditions outlined under 'Postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders, not elsewhere classified' broadly refers to complications that occur after medical or surgical procedures involving the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Such disorders could be a direct result of the procedure itself, or may arise from the body's response to surgery. Notable symptoms can involve pain, swelling, stiffness or functional impairment in the affected area. These symptoms can manifest immediately after the procedure or become noticeable after weeks or months. The progression of these disorders can vary widely, depending on the specific condition, the type of procedure, and the individual patient's overall health. Affected systems primarily include the skeletal framework and muscular layout, but secondary complications can involve nerves and blood vessels in some cases. Overall, postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders represent an array of complex and diverse medical conditions that are intricately tied to surgical interventions.
