Hip avascular necrosis (HAN) is a condition that affects the hip joint. It usually occurs as a result of various factors, such as diabetes, obesity, and smoking. HAN can lead to significant disability, and even death. To help health care professionals diagnose and treat HAN appropriately, the World Health Organization has developed the ICD 10 code for this condition. This code is now used throughout the world to identify and track cases of HAN. In this blog post, we will explore what this code means and how you can use it to better understand your own case.

What is ICD 10 Code For Bilateral Hip Avascular Necrosis?
Bilateral hip avascular necrosis is an uncommon condition that can result in loss of blood supply to the hip. The condition can often be caused by a number of factors, including aging, injuries, and disease.
The ICD 10 code for bilateral hip avascular necrosis is M87.051. This code refers to a specific type of hospitalization associated with this condition. In most cases, patients will be admitted to the hospital after experiencing significant pain and loss of mobility in their hips. Treatment typically includes surgery to replace the damaged blood vessels with artificial ones.
The Different Types of Hip Avascular Necrosis
Bilateral hip avascular necrosis (BHAN) is a type of hip disease that occurs when blood doesn’t flow to the hips as it should. This can cause the hips to get very stiff and become painful. BHAN can also lead to joint damage and eventually, arthritis.
There are different types of BHAN, but the most common is femoral head necrosis. This happens when the blood supply to the femur (the main bone in the thigh) is decreased or blocked. Other types of BHAN include:
-Acute total hip replacement (ATHP): A surgery used to replace a broken or worn out hip joint with a new, artificial one.
-Reconstruction arthroplasty: A surgery used to repair damage caused by arthritis or another condition that has damaged the hip joint.
Symptoms of Bilateral Hip Avascular Necrosis
Bilateral hip avascular necrosis (BHAN) is a condition that can cause severe pain and disability in the hips. It’s caused by a lack of blood flow to the hip bones, which can lead to bone death. BHAN is most common in older people, but it can also occur in younger people. Symptoms of BHAN include:
*pain in the hips that increases with activity
*a limp or difficulty walking because of the pain
*loss of bone density in the hip bones
*abnormal blood tests or X-rays that show bone loss or bone deformity
*symptoms that get worse over time
Imaging Tests for Bilateral Hip Avascular Necrosis
Bilateral hip avascular necrosis (BHAN) is a rare condition that can cause pain, swelling, and redness in the hip. You may also experience difficulty walking and climbing stairs. If left untreated, BHAN can lead to bone death and disability.
To diagnose BHAN, your doctor will perform an imaging test, such as a MRI or X-ray. If the imaging test shows signs of bone death or infection, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the affected hip.
Treatment Options for Bilateral Hip Avascular Necrosis
A hip avascular necrosis is a condition in which blood flow to the hip is reduced. There are a few treatment options for bilateral hip avascular necrosis, depending on the severity of the condition. For mild cases, rest and pain relief may be enough. For more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to replace the affected area of the hip with prosthetic material. Other treatments include using blood thinners and using a wheelchair to help support the joint.
Conclusion
Bilateral hip avascular necrosis (BHAN) is a serious complication of hip arthroplasty and can lead to early death. If you are diagnosed with BHAN, it is important that you receive prompt treatment so that your hips can be saved. The ICD 10 code for BHAN is M87.051, and the following are some symptoms that may suggest you have BHAN: decreased range of motion in both hips extreme pain when moving your hips swelling around the hip joint non-healing wounds around the hip joint
