Pyogenic or suppurative flexor tenosynovitis (PFT) is a severe bacterial infection within the closed space of the digital flexor tendon sheaths.[1][2] PFT accounts for 2.5 to 9.5% of hand infections that can cause necrosis of the tendons and devitalization of fingers.[3] This infection alters the gliding mechanism and ...

Synovitis is a common condition meaning inflammation of the synovial lining of a joint or tendon sheath (the tunnel the tendon runs through). Tendon sheath synovitis is referred to as tenosynovitis. It is a generalised response of that particular tissue (the synovial lining) to a local problem e.g. injury or infection.

What causes wrist tendinitis? Wrist tendinitis (tendonitis) is typically the result of repetitive stress on the tendons in your wrist. A layer of lubricated tissue, called a tendon sheath, surrounds your tendons. Overuse can irritate the sheath, leading to inflammation and enlargement.

The wrist, or carpus, contains eight carpal bones. There are three bones in the proximal row (scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum) and five bones in the distal row (trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate, and pisiform). The trapezium is also known as the greater multangular, the trapezoid as the lesser multangular, and the scaphoid as the navicular bone.#N#In ICD-10-CM, most wrist conditions coded from chapter 13 (M codes) have a “3” in the fifth position of the code such as M19.031 Primary osteoarthritis, right wrist. Common conditions of the wrist and distal radius from chapters 13 and 19 (M and S codes) are:
De Quervain’s disease (radial styloid tenosynovitis) is an inflammation of the first dorsal extensor compartment; this is entrapment tendinitis causing tendon thickening, which leads to restricted motion and a grinding sensation with tendon movement (crepitus).
Coding fracture of carpal bone (S62.1- Fracture of other and unspecified carpal bone (s)) when the diagnosis is a distal radius fracture (S52.5- Fracture of lower end of radius ).
Hand weakness or stiffness, especially with regard to grip strength.
De Quervain’s is diagnosed by means of a Finkelstein’s Test, in which the patient makes a fist and the provider pulls the wrist away from the thumb. Pain is a typical indicator of De Quervain’s. Preliminary or stop-gap treatment may include fitting to a short-arm splint or cast.
The wrist is classified as an “intermediate” joint, but consists of many intricate structures and bones. Accurate coding of wrist diagnoses, services, and procedures requires a solid working knowledge of wrist, hand, and distal forearm anatomy.
M65.841 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Other synovitis and tenosynovitis, right hand . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
Synovitis is the medical term for inflammation of the synovial membrane. This membrane lines joints which possess cavities, known as synovial joints. The condition is usually painful, particularly when the joint is moved. The joint usually swells due to synovial fluid collection.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M65.842 and a single ICD9 code, 727.05 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
727.05 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other tenosynovitis of hand and wrist. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Tendons are flexible bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. They help your muscles move your bones. Tendinitis is the severe swelling of a tendon.
7th Characters - Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
Hand problems include. Carpal tunnel syndrome - compression of a nerve as it goes through the wrist, often making your fingers feel numb. Injuries that result in fractures, ruptured ligaments and dislocations. Osteoarthritis - wear-and-tear arthritis, which can also cause deformity.
M65.841 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other synovitis and tenosynovitis, right hand. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
