S76.302Unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, left thigh

S76.302 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, left thigh. It belongs to category S76 (injury of muscle, fascia and tendon 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 S76.30 (unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level), S76.302 is specifically for unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, left thigh. Related codes cover right thigh (S76.301) and unspecified thigh (S76.309).

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.
