{{ICD10 transition status | OldDxArticle = | CurrentStatus = reconciled | InitialEditorAssigned = Marla Penner }} == Additional Info == *Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve to the side. *Doctors don't know what causes the most common type of scoliosis — although it appears to involve hereditary factors, because the disorder tends to run in families. Less common types of scoliosis may be caused by: Neuromuscular conditions, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. *Kyphosis (from Greek κυφός kyphos, a hump) is an abnormally excessive convex kyphotic curvature of the spine as it occurs in the cervical, thoracic and sacral regions. *Lordosis is defined as an excessive inward curve of the spine. *Kyphoscoliosis is a deformity of the spine characterized by abnormal curvature of the vertebral column in two planes (coronal and sagittal). == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Spine}} == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
