M61.52: Other ossification of muscle Upper arm

You have ossifications in muscles in your upper arm or elbow.

When muscle tissue gets damaged, various substances are released into the tissue. Some of these substances can cause bone to form. Over a period of several weeks, muscle cells can then turn to bone.

Ossifications can cause hard areas in the affected muscles. This can cause pain in that location. It may also be that you are no longer able to move the affected areas of your body properly.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
