ICD Code M87.33 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of M87.33 that describes the diagnosis 'other secondary osteonecrosis of radius, ulna and carpus' in more detail.

The ICD code M87 is used to code Avascular necrosis

Avascular necrosis (AVN), also called osteonecrosis, bone infarction, aseptic necrosis, and ischemic bone necrosis, is cellular death (necrosis) of bone components due to interruption of the blood supply. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. If avascular necrosis involves the bones of a joint, it often leads to destruction of the joint articular surfaces. (see Osteochondritis dissecans).
