In simple words: An osteophyte, also known as a bone spur, is a smooth bony growth that forms on the end of a bone. This code specifies that the osteophyte is located in the right hip.

Osteophyte, right hip

Example 1: A 65-year-old patient presents with right hip pain and stiffness. An x-ray reveals the presence of an osteophyte in the right hip joint., A 50-year-old patient with a history of osteoarthritis in the right hip reports increasing pain and limited range of motion. Imaging studies confirm the development of an osteophyte., During a routine physical exam, a 40-year-old patient is found to have an asymptomatic osteophyte in their right hip.

Documentation should include the location of the osteophyte (right hip), the patient's symptoms (if any), associated diagnoses such as osteoarthritis, and any relevant imaging findings (e.g. X-ray, MRI).
