Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of right hip, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect condition resulting from a previous strain injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons around the right hip joint. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that past strain.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other long-term issues in the right hip that are a direct consequence of a previously diagnosed muscle, fascia, or tendon strain. This applies to situations where the initial injury is no longer acute but has left lasting effects.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the primary condition or symptom being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to a past hip strain, specifying the right side.
• Do not use this code for acute or current strains; those require the initial encounter or subsequent encounter codes.
