M77. 11 Lateral epicondylitis, right elbow - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
M77.10Lateral epicondylitis, unspecified elbow M77. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M77. 10 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is swelling or tearing of the tendons that bend your wrist backward away from your palm. It's caused by repetitive motion of the forearm muscles, which attach to the outside of your elbow. The muscles and tendons become sore from excessive strain.
Tennis elbow is a condition that causes pain around the outside of the elbow. It's clinically known as lateral epicondylitis. It often happens after overuse or repeated action of the muscles of the forearm, near the elbow joint.
Date Issued: 10/1/2018 According to the ICD-10-CM Manual guidelines, some diagnosis codes indicate laterality, specifying whether the condition occurs on the left or right, or is bilateral. One of the unique attributes to the ICD-10-CM code set is that laterality has been built into code descriptions.
CPT code 20551 is commonly used for lateral epicondylitis, where the injection is administered at the insertion of the tendon.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition that occurs when tendons in your elbow are overloaded, usually by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm.
The elbow joint is made up of the bone in the upper arm (the humerus) and one of the bones in the lower arm (ulna). The bony prominences, or bumps, at the bottom of the humerus are called the epicondyles. The bump on the outer side of the elbow is called the lateral epicondyle.
To make a diagnosis, you may have one or more of these tests: X-rays to rule out conditions like arthritis or a broken bone. Imaging tests, including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans, assess tendon and muscle damage.
Sometimes, tennis elbow surgery is done using an arthroscope. This is a thin tube with a tiny camera and light on the end. Before surgery, you will get the same medicines as in open surgery to make you relax and to block pain. The surgeon makes 1 or 2 small cuts, and inserts the scope.
Tennis elbow is a common term for one of the most frequent types of tendinitis. It is an overuse injury that causes an inflammation of the tendon fibers that attach the forearm muscles to the outside of the elbow.
Tennis elbow is mostly caused by overusing your forearm due to a repetitive or strenuous activity. It can also sometimes occur after banging or knocking your elbow. If the muscles in your forearm are strained, tiny tears and inflammation can develop near the bony lump (lateral epicondyle) on the outside of your elbow.

Medial epicondylitis is also known as golfer's elbow, baseball elbow, suitcase elbow, or forehand tennis elbow. It's characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the inside (medial side) of the elbow. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm.

Tennis elbow is a condition in which the degenerative tear of tendon occurs at the origin of extensor muscles. To treat that tear of a tendon, percutaneous needle tenotomy PNT is performed. In this procedure, an 18 guaze needle is used to inject inside the skin. Ultrasound supervision is necessary to check the exact location.
Achilles tendon is present in foot of a person. The foot is rigid due to this specific tendon i.e. Achilles tendon. With the help of percutaneous needle tenotomy PNT a small incision is made in the tendon. This incision is done with the help of a fine needle. This fine needle is injected inside the skin under the supervision of ultrasound.
Only one CPT code is used for the all types of percutaneous needle tenotomy PNT. Whether it is performed for tennis elbow, lateral or medial, epicondylitis and golfers elbow. The code used is 24357. There are no separate codes for percutaneous needle tenotomy PNT according to the location. This latest specific code is in use right now.
