Inj musc/fasc/tend at thigh level, right thigh, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late-effect condition resulting from a previous injury to a muscle, fascia, or tendon in the right thigh, excluding quadriceps, adductor, or hamstring groups. The initial injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that past trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current presentation of chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the right thigh, where the underlying cause is a healed injury to a specified muscle, fascia, or tendon (other than quadriceps, adductor, or hamstring). This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these lasting effects.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code that describes the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, muscle weakness).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous injury of a specified, non-quadriceps/adductor/hamstring muscle, fascia, or tendon in the right thigh.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate for a sequela, indicating a late effect of the original injury.
