This code signifies an injury to the greater saphenous vein in the right leg, specifically at the hip or thigh level, that is not classified as a laceration or puncture. This could include contusions, avulsions, or other non-penetrating trauma to this major superficial vein.

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for a patient presenting with a diagnosed injury to the right greater saphenous vein at the hip or thigh, where the injury type is specified but does not involve a cut or stab wound. Examples include blunt force trauma causing a hematoma or crush injury affecting the vein.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the right leg and the hip or thigh level.
• Verify the injury type is "other specified" and not a laceration (S75.21xA) or puncture (S75.22xA).
• Confirm this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury.
