S74.8X2Injury of other nerves at hip and thigh level, left leg

S74.8X2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of other nerves at hip and thigh level, left leg. It belongs to category S74 (injury of nerves at hip and thigh level), block S70-S79 (injuries to the hip and thigh) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S74.8X (injury of other nerves at hip and thigh level), S74.8X2 is specifically for injury of other nerves at hip and thigh level, left leg. Related codes cover right leg (S74.8X1) and unspecified leg (S74.8X9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
