M96: Postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders, not elsewhere classified
M96.8: Other postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders
M96.8, Other postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders, represents a category of conditions that occur after a medical procedure involving the musculoskeletal system, which is made up of your bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues. These disorders can present in numerous ways depending on the specific condition and its severity, but common signs might include pain, swelling, limited mobility, weakness, or abnormal function in the area that was addressed by the procedure. The disorders under this classification are typically the result of complications from the medical procedure, such as infections, reactions to materials used during the procedure, or issues related to the body's healing process. Despite being labeled as "postprocedural," these conditions may not show up immediately after the procedure, and could develop days, weeks, or even months later.
