    ICD-10-CM Code For Injury Of Muscle Fascia And Tendon At Hip And Thigh Level: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group S76 includes traumatic injuries to muscles, fascia, and tendons at the hip and thigh level, such as strains, tears, and ruptures involving specific muscle groups. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document acute musculoskeletal trauma, capturing anatomical site, laterality, and initial encounter details relevant to this group. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM S76 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An adult presents to the emergency department after a fall onto the lateral hip with acute severe pain and inability to actively abduct the thigh. Imaging excludes fracture but clinical exam and MRI demonstrate a complete tear of the gluteus medius tendon at the greater trochanter; initial management focuses on pain control and orthopedic referral for possible repair. A diagnosis from this group is assigned to capture the acute traumatic rupture of a hip-level tendon. Typical codes: S76.011A, S76.021A
    • An elderly patient with progressive lateral hip pain and weakness over months after repetitive microtrauma from long-term altered gait is evaluated in outpatient orthopedics; conservative care has failed and MRI shows a chronic partial-thickness tear with tendinopathy of the hip abductor complex. A code from this group is used to document the chronic, nonacute injury of muscle/tendon as a reason for ongoing therapy or surgical planning. Typical codes: S76.019D, S76.029D
    • A middle-aged athlete develops severe thigh pain and swelling during sprinting and is treated emergently for an acute muscle rupture; after initial emergency care and surgical repair, the patient returns for a postoperative visit with documented sequelae related to the repaired tendon. A code from this group is assigned for the initial acute injury management and later for sequela coding during follow-up care. Typical codes: S76.101A, S76.101S
