Other specified disorders of tendon, right elbow 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code M67.823 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M67.823 became effective on October 1, 2020.
My best suggestion, if in fact an Extensor Tenosynovectomy is what your surgeon did, is that you would have to use an Unlisted Procedure Code (26989) and pair it with 26145, Flexor Tenosynovectomy of the finger. If the Tenosynovectomy extended into a joint, MP or PIP, then you would have to look at 26135 or 26140.
ICD-10-CM M67.823 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 557 Tendonitis, myositis and bursitis with mcc 558 Tendonitis, myositis and bursitis without mcc
Extensor tendons run just underneath the skin along the back of the hands and wrists. They control the hand's ability to straighten the fingers and wrists. A mallet finger injury happens when a finger is jammed, causing an extensor tendon to rupture at the base of the finger joint.
329: Laceration of extensor muscle, fascia and tendon of unspecified finger at wrist and hand level.
In human anatomy, the extensor indicis [proprius] is a narrow, elongated skeletal muscle in the deep layer of the dorsal forearm, placed medial to, and parallel with, the extensor pollicis longus. Its tendon goes to the index finger, which it extends. Extensor indicis proprius.
There is a diagnosis code for posterior tibial tendinitis: M76. 82.
The extensor tendon repair code is 25270—Repair, tendon or muscle, extensor, forearm and/or wrist; primary, single, each tendon or muscle.
Surgical repair of a lacerated or torn extensor tendon is called extensor tendon repair. An extensor tendon repair surgery can be performed under either regional or general anesthesia.
Classically, a single slip of the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and a single slip of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) are said to run to the index finger. The EIP is said to be ulnar to the EDC at the level of the metacarpal head.
The extensor expansions (also known as the extensor hood or dorsal digital expansion) are triangular aponeuroses by which the extensor tendons insert onto the phalanges.
Relations. Extensor indicis is situated in the deep extensor compartment of the forearm situated deep to the extensor digitorum, medial to the extensor pollicis longus, and lateral to the extensor carpi ulnaris.
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.
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.
