ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 733

Other disorders of bone and cartilage

  • 733 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis


ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 733.0

Osteoporosis

  • (OSS-tee-oh-pa-ROW-sis) A condition that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density, causing bones to become fragile.
  • A condition of reduced bone mass, with decreased cortical thickness and a decrease in the number and size of the trabeculae of cancellous bone (but normal chemical composition), resulting in increased fracture incidence. Osteoporosis is classified as primary (Type 1, postmenopausal osteoporosis; Type 2, age-associated osteoporosis; and idiopathic, which can affect juveniles, premenopausal women, and middle-aged men) and secondary osteoporosis (which results from an identifiable cause of bone mass loss).
  • Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Primary osteoporosis can be of two major types: postmenopausal osteoporosis (OSTEOPOROSIS, POSTMENOPAUSAL) and age-related or senile osteoporosis.
