Injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of hip
ICD-10 S76.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of hip.
Injuries to the muscle, fascia, and tendon of the hip can result from various traumatic events, including falls, sports injuries, or accidents. These injuries may involve strains, tears, or ruptures of the hip's soft tissues, which can lead to significant pain, swelling, and functional impairment. The hip joint is a complex structure that bears weight and allows for a wide range of motion, making it susceptible to injury. Common causes include hip fractures, femoral injuries, and hip dislocations, which may necessitate orthopedic trauma surgery. Treatment often involves rest, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical intervention to repair damaged tissues. Accurate coding is essential for proper reimbursement and tracking of treatment outcomes, as these injuries can vary widely in severity and impact on patient mobility and quality of life.
Detailed operative reports, imaging studies, and post-operative notes are essential for accurate coding.
Common scenarios include surgical repair of tendon tears or reconstruction following hip dislocations.
Ensure that all relevant anatomical details are documented, including the specific muscles or tendons involved.
Comprehensive assessments of functional limitations and treatment plans are necessary.
Rehabilitation following hip injuries, including physical therapy protocols.
Document the patient's progress and response to therapy to support coding for ongoing treatment.
Used in cases of severe tendon injuries requiring surgical intervention.
Operative reports detailing the procedure and findings.
Orthopedic surgeons must document the specific techniques used.
S76.0 covers injuries to the muscle, fascia, and tendon of the hip, including strains, tears, and other soft tissue injuries.
