ICD-10-CM Code M91.11
Juvenile osteochondrosis of head of femur [Legg-Calve-Perthes], right leg
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.M91.11 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of juvenile osteochondrosis of head of femur [Legg-Calve-Perthes], right leg. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code M911 is used to code Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease
Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) is a childhood hip disorder initiated by a disruption of blood flow to the ball of the femur called the femoral head. Due to the lack of blood flow, the bone dies (osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis) and stops growing. Over time, healing occurs by new blood vessels infiltrating the dead bone and removing the necrotic bone which leads to a loss of bone mass and a weakening of the femoral head. The bone loss leads to some degree of collapse and deformity of the femoral head and sometimes secondary changes to the shape of the hip socket. It is also referred to as idiopathic avascular osteonecrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis of the femoral head since the cause of the interruption of the blood supply of the head of the femur in the hip joint is unknown.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M91.11 and a single ICD9 code, 732.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
