Laceration without foreign body, right hip
ICD-10 S71.011 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of laceration without foreign body, right hip.
S71.011 refers to a laceration of the right hip that does not involve any foreign body. This injury typically results from trauma such as falls, accidents, or sports injuries. The hip region is complex, containing muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, making lacerations in this area potentially significant. Such injuries can lead to complications, including infection, impaired mobility, and damage to surrounding structures. Proper assessment and documentation are crucial, as lacerations can vary in depth and severity, impacting treatment decisions. In orthopedic trauma surgery, lacerations may require surgical intervention to repair soft tissue and ensure proper healing. The management of these injuries often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and primary care providers, to optimize recovery and restore function.
