S76.101A
ICD-10-CMUnspecified injury of right quadriceps muscle, fascia and tendon, initial encounter
This code signifies an undiagnosed injury affecting the quadriceps muscle, its surrounding fascia, or its tendons in the right leg. It indicates that the specific nature or extent of the damage (e.g., strain, tear, rupture) has not yet been determined.
Apply this code when a patient presents with a new, acute injury to the right quadriceps region, and the physician's documentation does not specify the exact type of injury. This is appropriate for initial evaluations where further diagnostic workup (e.g., imaging) is pending or the injury is still being assessed.
