Some of the signs and symptoms of Tendon Tears are:
There are three stages of extensor tendon healing after a surgery:
Tendonitis of the elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, is an inflammation of the connective tissue that connects the muscles in the forearm to the elbow. The tendons attach to the outside edge of the upper arm bone (i.e., the humerus), where it meets the elbow.
The common extensor tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that attaches to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus (long bone in the upper arm) at the elbow. Rupture or tear of the common extensor tendon is the most common acute tendon injury of the elbow.
lateral epicondyleThe common extensor origin is a flat tendinous structure originating from the anterolateral surface of the lateral epicondyle and is found just distal to the origin of extensor carpi radialis longus muscle (ECRL) 1-3.

MRI showed a high-grade tear in the common extensor tendon. A high-grade tear means the fibers in the tendon are more than 70% torn. The surgeon recommended repair of the tendon with surgery.
You will be able to return to daily activities in about 2 to 6 weeks. You can go back to work in 3 to 12 weeks, depending on your job. You should be able to play sports again in 4 to 6 months. You may need a brace at work and when you play sports that stress the elbow and forearm, such as tennis.

ICD-Code M25. 50 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Pain in Unspecified Joint.
ICD-10 code M79. 602 for Pain in left arm is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
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.
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.
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.
medial epicondyleThe common flexor tendon originates from the medial epicondyle and the anterior joint capsule just proximal to the humeral insertion of the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament.
The common extensor tendon that originates from the lateral epicondyle of the elbow is directly involved. The extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and longus, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, and extensor carpi ulnaris come together to form the common extensor tendon.
Four of these seven share a tendinous origin at the lateral epicondyle: extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digiti minimi, and extensor digitorum.
The medial epicondyle is the common origin of the forearm flexor and pronator muscles. The most common site of pathology is the interface between the pronator teres and the flexor carpi radialis origins.
Other specified disorders of tendon, right elbow 1 M67.823 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M67.823 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M67.823 - other international versions of ICD-10 M67.823 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M67.823 became effective on October 1, 2021.
