Wiki Rotator Cuff tendinitis

What ICD9 code do you use for rotator cuff tendinitis?? I usually use 726.10 but I'm wondering if that is the correct code. Just looking for some opinions. Thank you.

Looks good to me as an unspecified diagnosis! I'm sure you know 726.11 "Calcifying tendinitis of shoulder," and 726.12 "Bicipital tenosynovitis" are good if more specific documentation is provided.
