Billable/specific ICD-10-CM codes that can be used to indicate a diagnosis of patellar tendonitis for reimbursement purposes are: M76. 50 – Patellar tendinitis, unspecified knee.
ICD-10 Code for Pain in unspecified knee- M25. 569- Codify by AAPC.
Patellar tendinitis is a common overuse injury, caused by repeated stress on your patellar tendon. The stress results in tiny tears in the tendon, which your body attempts to repair.
The patellar tendon connects the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). Despite its name, the patellar tendon is actually a ligament. Tendons connect a muscle to a bone. Ligaments connect two muscles.

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.
Tendonitis in the knee develops from repetitive stress on the knee, typically from overuse from sports. Tiny tears form in the tendon, which weaken and inflame the tendon after repetitive movements. Other contributing factors include: Tight leg muscles.
A common type of knee tendonitis is called patellar tendonitis, which happens when the tendon that connects your kneecap (patella) to your shin gets injured. Tendonitis is usually caused by repetitive motions in your knee that put excessive stress on a tendon, such as playing a sport or doing physical labor.
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).
Patellar tendonitis comes from repetitive stress on the knee, most often from overuse in sports or exercise. The repetitive stress on the knee creates tiny tears in the tendon that, over time, inflame and weaken the tendon. Contributing factors can be: tight leg muscles.
Tendons are the reason a muscle can move the bones in our body when muscles contract. The tendons involved in the knee include the quadriceps tendon, the patella tendon, hamstring tendons, and the iliotibial band.
