ICD-10 code M65. 30 for Trigger finger, unspecified finger is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
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.
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]
The palmar fascia is a triangular structure in the palm of the hand based distally (Fig. 1). It is a continuation of the deep fascia of the forearm. The palmaris longus, when present, lies freely between the superficial and deep layers of the deep fascia.
A palmar fasciectomy is a surgery to remove all or part of the palmar fascia. This is a thin sheet of connective tissue in your hand. It's shaped like a triangle. It's beneath the skin on your fingers and the palm of your hands. Your surgeon cleans the skin, makes an incision and exposes the palmar fascia.
Dupuytren's Disease is a condition that produces bumps or nodules on the palm. The most common place for the nodule is near the last crease in the palm, close to the base of the finger. The most common fingers involved are the ring and small fingers.
Trigger finger release is surgery to make it easier to bend and straighten your finger. Your doctor will make a cut (incision) in the tissue over the tendon that helps bend your finger. This will allow the tendon to move freely without pain. This surgery will probably be done while you are awake.
Patients who have undergone trigger finger release without any concurrent procedures were identified from 2017-2018 using cpt code 26055.
