Enthesopathies, lower limb, excluding foot (M76) ICD-10-CM
The M76 code range covers enthesopathies, lower limb, excluding foot with 47 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 34 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the M76 Code Range
This group of ICD-10 codes, M76, categorizes disorders known as enthesopathies affecting the lower limb but excluding the foot. These codes specifically address conditions involving inflammation or degeneration where tendons and ligaments attach to the bone, such as tendinitis and bursitis of various tendons around the hip, thigh, and knee.
The ICD-10 code for enthesopathies of the lower limb serves to classify common conditions like gluteal tendinitis (M76.0), psoas tendinitis (M76.1), and Achilles tendinitis (M76.6), among others. Synonyms such as "Tendinitis of right gluteal tendon" or "Calcific tendinitis of Achilles tendon" help health professionals accurately pinpoint diagnoses. Also included are bursitis forms like tibial collateral bursitis (Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome) (M76.4) and syndromes such as iliotibial band syndrome (M76.3). Detailed subcodes specify the exact location, including right or left limb involvement, improving coding precision and clinical documentation. These codes are essential for coding enthesopathies affecting areas like the hip and knee but exclude foot enthesopathies, useful for both medical coding specialists and healthcare providers evaluating musculoskeletal complaints.
