Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is an issue that causes foot and ankle pain. It's also known as posterior tibial tendonitis or posterior tibial tendon insufficiency. The posterior tibial tendon connects your calf muscle to bones on the inside of your foot.
lower legDescription. The Tibialis Posterior is located deep in the posterior compartment of the lower leg and situated between the Flexor Digitorium Longus and the Flexor Hallucis Longus. It is a key stabilising muscle supporting the medial arch of the foot.
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 tibialis posterior is in the posterior compartment of the lower leg. The posterior compartment contains seven muscles: the gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris, popliteus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, and the 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.

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.
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction characteristically is a slow onset condition mainly affecting middle-aged, obese women. Risk factors include obesity, hypertension, diabetes, steroid use and seronegative 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.
Tarsal tunnel injections should be billed with CPT code 28899 (unlisted procedure, foot or toes).
Tendon Debridement This is done to try to decrease the symptoms of pain and to prevent rupture of the tendon. This procedure is usually done through a small incision in the instep of the foot just over the posterior tibial tendon. The surgeon simply identifies the tendon and removes the thickened tissue.
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. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is a progressive condition.
Ice. Apply cold packs on the most painful area of the posterior tibial tendon for 20 minutes at a time, 3 or 4 times a day to keep down swelling. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Placing ice over the tendon immediately after completing an exercise helps to decrease the inflammation around the tendon.
If you recently tore your posterior tibialis tendon, you might need this surgery. A tear can happen during a fall. It can also happen if you recently broke (fractured) your ankle or dislocated it. Surgery may also be done for chronic inflammation from overuse.
Tenderness over the midfoot, especially when under stress during activity. Gradually developing pain on the outer side of the ankle or foot as the arch flattens even more. A popping sound associated with pain on the inside of the ankle when the tendon is suddenly torn during an activity.
The ICD code M76 is used to code Enthesopathy. In medicine, an enthesopathy refers to a disorder involving the attachment of a tendon or ligament to a bone. This site of attachment is known as the entheses. Specialty:
