Strain of adductor musc/fasc/tend right thigh, subs

This code signifies a non-traumatic injury to the adductor muscles, their surrounding fascia, or their tendons in the right thigh, specifically when the patient is receiving follow-up care after the initial treatment phase. This type of injury often involves overstretching or tearing of these tissues, commonly known as a "groin strain."

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management, rehabilitation, or follow-up of a previously diagnosed right adductor strain. This includes encounters for physical therapy, re-evaluation of healing progress, or medication adjustments after the acute phase has passed.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates the right thigh and that the encounter is not for the initial injury.
• Verify the injury is a strain, not a sprain or fracture, and involves the adductor complex.
• Pair with an external cause code (V00-Y99) if the mechanism of injury is relevant and documented.
