M67.321 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of transient synovitis, right elbow. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code M673 is used to code Transient synovitis

Transient synovitis of the hip (also called toxic synovitis; see below for more synonyms) is a self-limiting condition in which there is an inflammation of the inner lining (the synovium) of the capsule of the hip joint. The term irritable hip refers to the syndrome of acute hip pain, joint stiffness, limp or non-weightbearing, indicative of an underlying condition such as transient synovitis or orthopedic infections (like septic arthritis or osteomyelitis). In everyday clinical practice however, irritable hip is commonly used as a synonym for transient synovitis. It should not be confused with sciatica, a condition describing hip and lower back pain much more common to adults than transient synovitis but with similar signs and symptoms.

Specialty: Rheumatology
ICD 9 Code: 727.00

The hip joint is formed between the femur and acetabulum of the pelvis.
