Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of pelvis, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect injury involving the muscles, fascia, or tendons within the pelvic region. It indicates that the initial strain has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to the original injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the pelvis that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained muscle, fascia, or tendon strain. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these long-term effects, not the initial acute injury.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the primary condition or symptom being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a past pelvic strain.
• Do not use for acute or subacute strains; those require an initial or subsequent encounter code.
