M91.30 identifies pseudocoxalgia affecting an unspecified hip — a sequela of juvenile osteochondrosis (Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease) in which avascular necrosis of the femoral head produces hip pain and deformity that mimics coxalgia without a primary joint disease cause.
M91.31 identifies pseudocoxalgia affecting the right hip — a juvenile osteochondrosis condition grouped under M91.3, distinct from Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and coxa plana despite overlapping clinical presentation in skeletally immature patients.
Juvenile osteochondrosis of the left hip presenting as pseudocoxalgia — a condition in which avascular necrosis or osteochondrotic changes produce hip pain and a limp mimicking true hip joint disease, classified under the M91 chondropathy group.
