S66.321A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S66.321A became effective on October 1, 2018.
It shares a common synovial tendon sheaths along with other extensor muscles which helps to reduce friction between the tendon and the surrounding structures. As it courses the dorsum of the hand, the extensor digitorum communis muscle spreads out into four (4) flat tendons deep to the extensor retinaculum to the medial four fingers.

Extensor tendon lacerations occur when an object penetrates the tissues of the hand and severs the tendons on the back of the hand or fingers. This damage may be intentional or accidental, and often involves broken glass, jagged metal, or sharp tools. Mallet Finger refers to a drooping end-joint of a finger.
An extensor tendon injury is damage to the tissues on the back of the hand and fingers. It can make it hard for you to extend your wrist, open your hand, or straighten your fingers. The inability to perform these functions can severely limit hand and upper extremity function.

A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.
The extensor digitorum communis is a superficial extensor muscle located in the posterior compartment of the forearm. It shares a common synovial tendon sheaths along with other extensor muscles which helps to reduce friction between the tendon and the surrounding structures.
Description. The extensor digitorum longus (EDL) is 1 of 4 muscles in the anterior compartment of the lower leg. The other muscles in the anterior compartment include: tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and peroneus (fibularis) tertius. EDL is the most lateral muscle in the anterior compartment.
Extensor tendons run just underneath the skin along the back of the hands and wrists. They control the hand's ability to straighten the fingers and wrists.
Causes of Common Extensor Tendon Origin Rupture Common causes may include: Activity that requires repetitive motion of the forearm such as painting, typing, weaving, gardening, lifting heavy objects, and sports. Overuse of the forearm muscles. Direct trauma as with a fall, work injury, or motor vehicle accident.
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.
How are extensor tendon injuries treated? Cuts that split the tendon may need stitches or surgical repair, but tears caused by jamming injuries are usually treated with splints. Splints stop the healing ends of the tendons from pulling apart and should be worn at all times until the tendon is fully healed.
Tendon lacerations are an injury to the tendon that most commonly impacts the flexor and extensor tendons of the hand. A cut due to a knife or glass is the most common cause of these types of injuries.
Tendon repair surgery Tendon repair may involve a surgeon making a cut (incision) in your wrist, hand or finger so they can locate the ends of the divided tendon and stitch them together. Extensor tendons are easier to reach, so repairing them is relatively straightforward.
Tendons cannot heal unless the ends are touching. In most cases, a cut or torn tendon must be repaired by a surgeon. Surgery is usually performed within 7 to 10 days after an injury. In general, the sooner surgery is performed, the better recovery will be.
What are the treatment options? Surgery will be required in order to repair the damaged tendon. A small incision is made to locate the ends of the tendon and they are then stitched back together. Because extensor tendons are easy to reach they are relatively easy to repair.

The extensor digitorum communis is a superficial extensor muscle located in the posterior compartment of the forearm. It shares a common synovial tendon sheaths along with other extensor muscles which helps to reduce friction between the tendon and the surrounding structures. As it courses the dorsum of the hand, the extensor digitorum communis muscle spreads out into four (4) flat tendons deep to the extensor retinaculum to the medial four fingers.
The extensor digitorum communis has been found to play a role in the pathology of lateral epicondylitis because of its role in the extension of the middle finger which reproduces pain on resisted extension. It has been suggested that pathology in the extensor digitorum communis may be the basis of a positive Maudsley's test.
The extensor digitorum communis is supplied by the posterior interosseous artery and the radial recurrent artery.

Ulnar subluxation of the extensor digitorum communis tendon at the MCP joint occurs infrequently in the nonrheumatoid patient and is secondary to one of four reported etiologies: traumatic, spontaneous, congenital, or epileptic. If symptomatic, patients may present with pain, swelling, a sensation of the tendon "snapping", "catching", "locking", or the inability to fully extend the MCP joint. Conservative and operative interventions have been recommended as treatment options. In the acute traumatic dislocation (less than ten days post injury), satisfactory results may be obtained with simple splinting with the MCP joint in extension. Patients who have failed conservative management or have a more chronic or degenerative dislocation may require surgical correction. The successful surgical repair must meet two requirements: (1) the tendon must be accurately aligned over the MCP joint to diminish the forces causing the dislocation to occur, and (2) the repair must be able to withstand the ulnar forces incurred during flexion of the joint. Realignment of the extensor tendon and direct repair of the radial sagittal band may be sufficient in acute traumatic, congenital, or spontaneous cases if the tissue is sufficient. In chronic dislocations or in cases with atrophic or degenerative tissue, reconstruction with augmentation of the radial restraints to the extensor hood is advised.
