Other injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of pelvis, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect stemming from a previous injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons within the pelvic region. These sequelae can include chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other persistent functional impairments directly attributable to the initial trauma. The original injury itself is no longer acute but has left lasting consequences.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct result of an old injury to the pelvic muscles, fascia, or tendons. This applies when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses the chronic or residual effects. Examples include chronic pelvic pain following a muscle tear, persistent weakness after a tendon rupture, or scar tissue formation limiting movement.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, muscle weakness).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past pelvic muscle, fascia, or tendon injury.
• The "S" at the end indicates a sequela, meaning it should only be used for late effects, not acute injuries.
