You should report either 27385 (Suture of quadriceps or hamstring muscle rupture; primary) or 27386 (secondary reconstruction, including fascial or tendon graft) depending on whether the surgeon performed a primary or secondary repair. Simply so, what is a patellar tendon rupture?

This type of injury requires prompt diagnosis and surgical repair as the patellar tendon is a part of the extensor mechanism. The extensor mechanism of the knee is crucial to the function of the lower extremity, including ambulation.
Patellar tendon rupture can be treated by non-surgical and surgical methods. Non-surgical treatment involves use of braces or splints to immobilize the knee. Physical therapy may be recommended to restore the strength and increase range of motion of the knee.
A rupture in the patellar tendon happens when the tendon is completely torn and separated from the kneecap. This type of injury is usually the result of a fall or during the landing from a jump.
The tendons of the knee. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). When a structure connects one bone to another, it is actually a ligament, so the patellar tendon is sometimes called the patellar ligament.
The patellar tendon works with the muscles at the front of your thigh to extend your knee so that you can kick, run and jump. Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — such as basketball and volleyball.
The patellar tendon begins at the patellar apex, but is actually considered the distal part of the quadriceps tendon - or, more accurately, a continuation of the rectus femoris tendon over the patella - while the patella itself is a sesamoid bone embedded in the quadriceps tendon 1,2.
It is also sometimes called the patellar ligament as it forms a bone to bone connection when the patella is fully ossified....Patellar tendon.Patellar ligamentTA22622FMA44581Anatomical terminology8 more rows
Surgical Approach. A midline longitudinal incision is used and extended to expose the patella, patellar tendon, and tibial tuberosity. All scars in the remnants of the patellar tendon are excised. Then, the patella and tibial tuberosity are prepared to receive the graft.
There are three hamstring tendons that cross the knee joint on the back of the knee....Ligaments are ropy, fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones.The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). ... The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL). ... The Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL). ... The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL).
As a physical therapist, I am often asked by patients, what is the worst ligament to tear? The quick answer is that the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is most likely to be considered the worst ligament in the knee to tear.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The patellar tendon is actually a ligament connecting two bones, the tibia and the patella. The extensor mechanism of the knee starts proximally as the quadriceps femoris muscle group.
The extensor mechanism of the knee consists of the quadriceps muscle group, quadriceps tendon, patella, patellar retinaculum, patellar ligament, and adjacent soft tissues. Injuries to the extensor mechanism are common and consist of chronic degenerative injuries, overuse injuries, and acute trauma.
Surgery is performed to repair the tendon by stitching and joining the associated muscle with bone. The CPT code used for this procedure is 28200.
stitched with the perfectly intact peroneus longus. Arthroscopy can be performed to stitch the tendon with the help of arthroscope. The CPT code for this procedure is 27658.
An incision is made near the site of tendon, and repairs the damage. The CPT code used for this process is 27599.
Gluteus Medius Tendon Repair CPT Code. Gluteus medius is one of the gluteal muscles which are located on the outer surface of pelvis. Gluteus medius tendon attaches these muscles with hip bone. Arthroscopy is performed to stitch the damaged ends of gluteus medius tendon.
Extensor tendons are located in fingers and are attached to the muscles of forearm. The tendons become flat in the tips of fingers. Surgery is performed to treat the broken extensor tendons. The CPT code for extensor tendon repair procedure is 26418.
Andy H.Lambert January 06, 2020. Tendons are the soft tissues which connect muscles to the bones. Whenever a tendon is torn or damaged due to injury, tendon repair surgery is performed to treat damaged tendon.
Extensor pollicis longus tendon is located on the dorsal side of forearm attached with the thumb. The repair surgery is performed to stitch the broken ends of tendon. The technique of open or arthroscopy can be used in this surgery. CPT code for this procedure is 26410.
