Question

I am looking for a supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendonitis code but I only see a rotator cuff tear. I am not sure if there is a better one.

Answer

Unfortunately, ICD-10 really doesn't have many options when it comes to tendonitis. According to one doctor, tendonitis is the default radiologist term for inflammation of the tendons which could be either bursitis or tendonitis even though they are not entirely the same thing.
