S76.801A
ICD-10-CMUnspecified injury of other specified muscles, fascia and tendons at thigh level, right thigh, initial encounter
This code signifies an unspecified injury affecting the muscles, fascia, or tendons in the right thigh. It is used when the specific nature of the injury (e.g., strain, tear, contusion) is not documented, but the anatomical location and affected tissue type are known. The "A" suffix indicates this is for the initial encounter for this specific injury.
Apply this code when a patient presents with an acute, uncharacterized injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons of the right thigh, such as a general "muscle pull" or "tendon pain" without further diagnostic specificity. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is first evaluated and treated.
