M61.139 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of myositis ossificans progressiva, unspecified forearm. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code M611 is used to code Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare connective tissue disease. The disease is caused by a mutation of the body's repair mechanism, which causes fibrous tissue (including muscle, tendon, and ligament) to be ossified spontaneously or when damaged. In many cases, injuries can cause joints to become permanently frozen in place. Surgical removal of the extra bone growths has been shown to cause the body to "repair" the affected area with even more bone.
