You can reduce your risk of Achilles injuries by:
ICD-10 Code for Injury of Achilles tendon- S86.
S86.001AICD-10 Code for Unspecified injury of right Achilles tendon, initial encounter- S86. 001A- Codify by AAPC.
CPT Code: 27650 Surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. This procedure may be performed as an open procedure or percutaneously. During an open surgery an incision is made in the back of the leg and the Achilles tendon is stitched together.
Achilles tendon repair surgery is a type of surgery to fix a damaged Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon is a strong, fibrous cord in the lower leg. It connects the muscles of your calf to your heel. It's the largest tendon in your body. It helps you walk, run, and jump.
S86.002ICD-10 code S86. 002 for Unspecified injury of left Achilles tendon is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Function. Acting via the Achilles tendon, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles cause plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle. This action brings the sole of the foot closer to the back of the leg. The gastrocnemius also flexes the leg at the knee.
Secondary repair: A repair performed after two weeks of injury. Primary repairs usually involve direct surgical correction of the injury, while secondary repairs may include tendon grafts or other more complex procedures.
Cases with Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 27650 (primary repair, open or percutaneous, and ruptured Achilles tendon), 27652 (primary repair with graft, open or percutaneous, and ruptured Achilles tendon), and 27654 (secondary repair, with or without graft, and ruptured Achilles tendon) were selected from ...
CPT® Code 27652 in section: Repair, primary, open or percutaneous, ruptured Achilles tendon.
Types of Achilles tendon repairGastrocnemius recession—The orthopedic surgeon lengthens the calf muscles to reduce stress on the tendon.Debridement and repair—During this procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged part of the Achilles tendon and repairs the remaining tendon with sutures or stitches.
An Achilles tendon obtained from a deceased donor has successfully been used as a graft to reconstruct the ACL ligament. Using the Achilles tendon allograft avoids the need of obtaining a graft from the patient's own body and provides sufficient stability. It is ideal for those who wish to return to athletic activity.
The Achilles tendon is a fibrous band of tissue that links the muscles in your calf to your heel. The strength and flexibility of this tendon are important for jumping, running, and walking.
ICD Code S86.01 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of S86.01 that describes the diagnosis 'strain of achilles tendon' in more detail.
Achilles tendon rupture is when the achilles tendon breaks. The achilles is the most commonly injured tendon. Rupture can occur while performing actions requiring explosive acceleration, such as pushing off or jumping. The male to female ratio for Achilles tendon rupture varies between 7:1 and 4:1 across various studies.
