About M89.1
M89.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for physeal arrest. It belongs to category M89 (other disorders of bone), block M86-M90 (other osteopathies) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.
Within M89 (other disorders of bone), M89.1 is specifically for physeal arrest. Related codes cover Algoneurodystrophy (M89.0), development and growth (M89.2), hypertrophy of bone (M89.3), other hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (M89.4), osteolysis (M89.5), osteopathy after poliomyelitis (M89.6), major osseous defect (M89.7), other specified disorders of bone (M89.8) and 1 more.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M89.12 (humerus), M89.13 (forearm), M89.15 (femur), M89.16 (lower leg) and M89.18 (other site).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
