  • Bursitis (bursitis).
  • Capsulitis (capsulitis)
  • Tendinitis (tendonitis)

According to the affected region, enthesopathies are classified as follows:

  • Tendinitis of the gluteus tendon(s) (ICD-10-GM M76.0) – tendonitis in the gluteal muscle region.
  • Tendinitis of the iliopsoas tendon (ICD-10-GM M76.1) – Tendinitis in the region of the iliopsoas muscle.
  • Bone spur at the iliac crest (ICD-10-GM M76.2).
  • Tractus iliotibialis chafing syndrome [Iliotibial band syndrome] (ICD-10-GM M76.3) – the tractus iliotibialis describes a fascial reinforcement of the fascia lata that extends from the inguinal ligament to the patella
  • Bursitis in the area of the ligenmentum collaterale tibiale [Stieda-Pellegrini] (ICD-10-GM M76.4) – bursitis in the area of the knee joint
  • Tendinitis of the patellar tendon (ICD-10-GM M76.5) – Tendinitis in the patellar tendon.
  • Tendinitis of the Achilles tendon (ICD-10-GM M76.6) – Achilles tendinitis.
  • Tendinitis of the peroneal tendon(s) (ICD-10-GM M76.7) – Tendinitis of the muscle affecting the fibula (peroneal muscle).
  • Other enthesopathies of the lower extremity excluding the foot (ICD-10-GM M76.8) such as tendinitis of the tibialis anterior/posterior muscle
  • Enthesopathy of the lower extremity, unspecified (ICD-10-GM M76.9)
