Strain msl/fasc/tnd post grp at thi lev, right thigh, sqla

This code signifies a chronic or late-effect condition resulting from a previous injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons located at the back of the right thigh. This typically involves the hamstring muscle group (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris) and their associated connective tissues. The "sequela" aspect indicates that the current presentation is a residual problem from an earlier strain.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing pain, weakness, stiffness, or functional limitation in the posterior right thigh that is directly attributable to a past hamstring strain. This applies to conditions like chronic hamstring tendinopathy, persistent scar tissue formation, or long-term muscle weakness following an inadequately healed or recurrent strain.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a prior strain event.
• Do not use for acute or subacute strains; those require different codes.
• Always specify laterality (right thigh) and the "sequela" seventh character.
