Contracture, left hand. 2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code. M24.542 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM M24.542 became effective on October 1, 2018.
To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of M24.54 that describes the diagnosis 'contracture, hand' in more detail. A muscle contracture is a permanent shortening of a muscle or joint.
M21.24 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Flexion deformity, finger joints. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
Subsequent flexion contracture usually begins with the fourth and fifth digits on the ulnar side of the hand and may progress to involve metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints or the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints ( Fig. 29.1 ).

CPT 26123‐‐If the contracture is associated with Dupuytren's, and a more extensive release is done along with the Digit Widget, “fasciectomy, partial palmar with release of single digit including proximal interphalangeal joint, with or without z‐plasty, other local tissue rearrangement, or skin grafting (includes ...
Definition. A flexion contracture is a bent (flexed) joint that cannot be straightened actively or passively. It is thus a chronic loss of joint motion due to structural changes in muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement of joints. [ from HPO]
Dupuytren's (du-pwe-TRANZ) contracture is a hand deformity that usually develops over years. The condition affects a layer of tissue that lies under the skin of your palm. Knots of tissue form under the skin — eventually creating a thick cord that can pull one or more fingers into a bent position.
Code M54. 2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain). It is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.

Z74.01ICD-10 code Z74. 01 for Bed confinement status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
When the origin or insertion of a tendon is injected, use CPT code 20551. 20550 is used for the injection of the tendon sheath. Reminder: Physicians may only bill for the professional component when imaging is performed in a hospital or non-office facility.
The Digit Widget is an external fixation system designed to apply an extension torque to the Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joint of a finger. This device helps regain, maintain, or increase extension of the PIP joint.

Patients who have undergone trigger finger release without any concurrent procedures were identified from 2017-2018 using cpt code 26055.
63052 describes the first level decompression and 63053 describes additional levels of decompression. These CPT codes are add-on codes and should not be reported alone and should be coded along with a primary surgery procedure codes, which we will discuss below. CPT Code 63053 should be used in conjunction with 63052.
A muscle contracture is a permanent shortening of a muscle or joint. It is usually in response to prolonged hypertonic spasticity in a concentrated muscle area, such as is seen in the tightest muscles of people with conditions like spastic cerebral palsy. Specialty:

Dupuytren disease is a nonmalignant, slowly progressive fibroproliferative disorder causing progressive thickening and shortening of the palmar fascia leading to debilitating digital and permanent contracture. Dupuytren contracture belongs to the group of fibromatoses. A wide range of procedural, rehabilitation, and surgical options exists.
Pure sensory symptoms in digits four and five may arise from palmar digital nerves against the relatively inelastic deep transverse metacarpal ligament.
The key cell response for tissue contraction in Dupuytren disease is thought to be the fibroblast and its differentiation into a myofibroblast. This idiopathic activation happens in response to the fibrogenic cytokines interleukin-1, prostaglandin F 2 , prostaglandin E 2 , platelet-derived growth factor, connective tissue-derived growth factor, and, most important, transforming growth factor-β and fibroblast growth factor 2. In addition, microRNAs (miRNAs) identified in Dupuytren contracture samples, including miR-29c, miR-130b, miR-101, miR-30b, and miR-140-3p, were found to regulate important genes related to the β-catenin pathway: WNT5A, ZIC1, and TGFB1 . As the nodule extends slowly, it induces shortening and tension on the longitudinal fascial bands of the palmar aponeurosis, resulting in cords of hypertrophied tissue. It is unique among ailments of the hand, and one could conceive of it as a focal autoimmune collagen vascular phenomenon. Dupuytren disease is thought to begin in the overlying dermis. Unlike the nodule, the cord is strikingly different histologically; it contains few or no myofibroblasts and few fibroblasts in a dense collagen matrix with less vascularity. Skin changes are the earliest signs of Dupuytren disease, including thickening of the palmar skin and underlying subcutaneous tissue. Rippling of the skin can occur before the development of a digital flexion deformity.
