Ways To Treat Posterior Tibial Tendonitis
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction generally takes 6-8 weeks to improve and early activity on a healing tendon can result in a set back in recovery. Non-compliance can double the recovery time and can be very frustrating for patients.
The posterior tibial tendon serves as one of the major supporting structures of the foot, helping it to function while walking. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a condition caused by changes in the tendon, impairing its ability to support the arch. This results in flattening of the foot.
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is one of the most common problems of the foot and ankle. It occurs when the posterior tibial tendon becomes inflamed or torn. As a result, the tendon may not be able to provide stability and support for the arch of the foot, resulting in flatfoot.
Because the tibialis posterior (TP) originates from the posterior compartment of the lower leg, the tibialis posterior is also a secondary plantar flexor of the foot along with the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris muscles.
ICD-10 code M76. 822 for Posterior tibial tendinitis, left leg is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
Report 28202 if a free graft is used for the repair. The patient may be placed in a cast for six to eight weeks. Procedures 28200 and 28202 may be reported multiple times as these codes should be reported for each flexor tendon repair.
The belly of the muscle is overlapped by the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus muscles. In addition, gastrocnemius, soleus and the tendon of plantaris are superficial to tibialis posterior.
The tibialis posterior muscle is the most central of all the leg muscles, and is located in the deep posterior compartment of the leg. It is the key stabilizing muscle of the lower leg....Tibialis posterior muscleInsertionNavicular and medial cuneiform boneArteryPosterior tibial arteryNerveTibial nerve11 more rows
What causes Posterior Tibial Tendonitis? Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction often happens due to repetitive overuse. Dancers and athletes who play high impact sports are at risk due to the stress they place on this tendon. An acute injury, such as a fall or collision, can also tear the posterior tibial tendon.
ICD-10 code M79. 671 for Pain in right foot is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
ICD-10 code M25. 57 for Pain in ankle and joints of foot is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
CPT® 28300, Under Repair, Revision, and/or Reconstruction Procedures on the Foot and Toes. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 28300 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Repair, Revision, and/or Reconstruction Procedures on the Foot and Toes.
The posterior tibialis tendon is a strong cord of tissue. It is one of the most important tendons in your leg. It attaches the posterior tibialis muscle on the back of your calf to the bones on the inside of your foot. It helps support your foot and hold up its arch when you are walking.

M66.869 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of other tendons, unspecified lower leg. The code M66.869 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Non-traumatic rupture of Achilles tendon 2 Nontraumatic rupture of tibialis posterior tendon 3 Rupture of Achilles tendon 4 Rupture of posterior tibial tendon 5 Rupture of tendon of foot region 6 Spontaneous rupture of flexor tendons
Unspecified diagnosis codes like M66.869 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used ...
