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

This code signifies a past, unspecified injury to the adductor muscle group, fascia, or tendons in the patient's left thigh, with residual effects or complications. The original injury is no longer acute, but its long-term consequences are still present and impacting the patient.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms (e.g., chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion) directly attributable to a previous, unspecified adductor injury of the left thigh. This applies after the initial healing phase, when the condition has transitioned to a chronic or residual state.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, muscle weakness) if known.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates the injury is no longer acute and is causing ongoing issues.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code from the S76.202- series.
