About S66

S66 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at wrist and hand level. It belongs to block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S66.0 (level), S66.1 (level), S66.2 (level), S66.3 (level), S66.4 (level), S66.5 (level), S66.8 (level) and S66.9 (level).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S66, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: sprain of joints and ligaments of wrist and hand (S63.-).

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