    ICD-10-CM Code For Other Juvenile Osteochondrosis: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group M92 includes juvenile osteochondroses such as Köhler disease, Osgood-Schlatter disease, and other disorders of epiphyseal cartilage and growth plate development that affect children and adolescents. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters for growth-related cartilage and bone disorders, capturing disease site, laterality when applicable, and clinical complexity relevant to pediatric orthopedic care. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM M92 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM M92: Other Juvenile Osteochondrosis Overview

    The ICD-10-CM M92 group encompasses various juvenile osteochondroses affecting growing bones and articular cartilage, commonly seen in pediatric orthopedics. These conditions target the musculoskeletal system, particularly growth plates and epiphyseal cartilage. Accurate coding matters for correct clinical documentation and appropriate reimbursement for pediatric musculoskeletal care.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when the documented diagnosis is a juvenile osteochondrosis affecting a specific anatomic site in a child or adolescent. Select codes that reflect the precise site, laterality if applicable, and any specified acute or chronic status documented by the clinician.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A 13-year-old boy presents to the emergency department after several weeks of progressive anterior knee pain, worse with running and going up stairs, and recent swelling over the tibial tubercle. On exam there is localized tenderness and a prominent tibial tubercle; radiographs confirm fragmentation and enlargement of the tubercle consistent with an active osteochondrosis affecting the tibial tubercle (Osgood–Schlatter type presentation). A code from this juvenile osteochondrosis group is assigned to capture the specific site and laterality of the lesion. Typical codes: M92.30, M92.31.
    • A 10-year-old girl is seen in pediatric orthopedics for chronic heel pain present for months, worse with sports activity; exam shows localized posterior heel tenderness and swelling, and lateral radiograph demonstrates fragmentation of the calcaneal apophysis consistent with Sever disease (calcaneal apophysitis). This is an overuse, chronic growth‑plate–related chondropathy managed conservatively; a diagnosis from this group is used to document the chronic juvenile osteochondrosis of the calcaneus and specify laterality. Typical codes: M92.10, M92.11.
    • A 12-year-old athlete with a history of growth‑plate osteochondrosis of the distal femoral condyle treated conservatively presents for evaluation of persistent knee dysfunction and radiographic evidence of physeal arrest with secondary deformity. The visit documents the complication of the prior juvenile osteochondrosis resulting in growth disturbance and ongoing mechanical symptoms, necessitating coding that reflects the sequelae or continuing condition related to the original osteochondrosis. Typical codes: M92.221, M92.229.
