About X50

X50 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements. It belongs to block X50 (overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: X50.0 (load), X50.1 (postures), X50.3 (movements) and X50.9 (postures).
