M76Enthesopathies, lower limb, excluding foot

M76 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for enthesopathies, lower limb, excluding foot. It belongs to block M70-M79 (other soft tissue disorders) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M76.0 (tendinitis), M76.1 (tendinitis), M76.2 (spur), M76.3 (syndrome), M76.4 ([Pellegrini-Stieda]), M76.5 (tendinitis), M76.6 (tendinitis), M76.7 (tendinitis) and 2 more.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of M76, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: bursitis due to use, overuse and pressure (M70.-) and enthesopathies of ankle and foot (M77.5-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
