Unsp injury of adductor musc/fasc/tend right thigh, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication stemming from an unspecified injury to the adductor muscles, fascia, or tendons in the right thigh. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or conditions directly attributable to that past injury.

This code is appropriate when documenting chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the right thigh's adductor region that are a direct consequence of a previous, unspecified injury. It should be used when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses these lasting effects.

• Always sequence this "S" code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past adductor injury of the right thigh.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code from the S76 category.
