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

This code signifies a chronic or residual condition resulting from a previous injury to the adductor muscles, fascia, or tendons in the right thigh. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing symptoms or limitations directly attributable to an old strain in this specific anatomical area.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient is being treated for a long-term effect or complication of a past adductor strain in the right thigh. This would include scenarios where the initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience pain, weakness, or restricted movement as a direct consequence of that prior strain.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly links the current symptoms to a previous adductor strain.
• Look for terms like "sequela of," "residual effect of," "chronic due to prior," or "old strain with ongoing symptoms."
• Do not use for acute or initial encounters of an adductor strain; those require acute injury codes.
