Psoas tendinitis, right hip

This code signifies inflammation of the psoas tendon specifically affecting the right hip. This condition typically presents as pain in the groin or anterior hip region, often exacerbated by hip flexion or external rotation. It can be a result of overuse, trauma, or underlying inflammatory processes.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of tendinitis involving the psoas muscle on the right side. Supporting documentation should include physician notes detailing the location of inflammation, symptoms consistent with tendinitis, and potentially imaging findings (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) confirming the diagnosis.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right hip" to support this specific code.
• Differentiate from other hip tendinopathies (e.g., gluteal tendinitis) or hip joint pathologies.
• Consider additional codes for any underlying cause or associated conditions, such as muscle strain or bursitis, if documented.
