Other specified injuries of right hip, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a previously sustained injury to the right hip, excluding fractures, dislocations, or open wounds. These sequelae represent residual conditions that persist after the acute phase of the original injury has passed.

Apply this code when documenting chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other persistent functional impairments in the right hip directly attributable to an old, specified injury. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these lasting consequences, rather than the initial acute injury.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe the original injury event, if known.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current hip condition to a past injury and specifies the "other" nature of the injury.
• Do not use for acute injuries or for sequelae of fractures or dislocations, as those have more specific codes.
