6 diagnoses (most-specific first)
- M66.28
Nontraumatic rupture of an extensor tendon at a body site not captured by the more specific M66.2x codes — most commonly applied to the wrist when a site-specific wrist code does not fully describe the location.

M70-M795 CPT - M65.4
M65.4 identifies stenosing tenosynovitis of the first dorsal wrist compartment — specifically, inflammation and narrowing of the tendon sheath around the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis — clinically known as de Quervain's tenosynovitis.
