S76Injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at hip and thigh level

S76 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at hip and thigh level. It belongs to 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S76.0 (hip), S76.1 (tendon), S76.2 (thigh), S76.3 (level), S76.8 (level) and S76.9 (level).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S76, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at lower leg level (S86) and sprain of joint and ligament of hip (S73.1).

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