27650: Repair, primary, open or percutaneous, ruptured Achilles tendon; Lay Description (Code): The physician repairs a ruptured Achilles tendon.
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.
ICD-10 code M76. 61 for Achilles tendinitis, right leg is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
M79. 671 is the code for bilateral foot or heel pain, or pain in the right foot. M79. 672 is the code for pain in the left foot or heel.
27650 (Repair, primary, open or percutaneous, ruptured Achilles tendon) 27652 (Repair, primary, open or percutaneous, ruptured Achilles tendon; with graft (includes obtaining graft)) 27654 (Repair, secondary, Achilles tendon, with or without graft)
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.
For debridement of insertional Achilles tendinitis and repair (suture anchor versus bony trough), choose code 27680. For Achilles tendon debridement and repair for tendonosis, choose 27654 (Repair, secondary, Achilles tendon, with or without graft).
Anatomy. The Achilles (calcaneal) tendon is a common tendon shared between the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of the posterior leg. It connects the two muscle groups (collectively, triceps surae) to the calcaneus.
The Achilles (uh-KILL-ease) tendon is a band of tissue in the back of your leg. This tendon links your heel bone (calcaneus, pronounced cal-KAY-nee-us) to your calf muscles. It's also called the calcaneal tendon. You have two Achilles tendons, one in each leg.
Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon, the band of tissue that connects calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to your heel bone. Achilles tendinitis most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs.
This outpatient procedure is designed to repair a damaged Achilles tendon. During the procedure, injured and scarred tissue is removed. This can reduce or eliminate the pain of tendinitis.
Response: The primary surgery was the removal of posterior calcaneal spur which can be billed using CPT 28120 (partial excision, calcaneus) or CPT 28118 (ostectomy, calcaneus).
Your surgeon will make an incision through the sheath that surrounds the tendon. He or she will remove parts of your damaged tendon, or repair the rip in the tendon. Your surgeon may remove another tendon from your foot. This is then used to replace part or all of the Achilles tendon.
27687Reporting an open gastrocnemius recession is straightforward: 27687 Gastrocnemius recession (eg, Strayer procedure) properly describes the procedure.
Strain of unspecified Achilles tendon, initial encounter 1 S86.019A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 #N#The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S86.019A became effective on October 1, 2020.#N#This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S86.019A - other international versions of ICD-10 S86.019A may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
