Specific Coding Applicable to Laceration of muscle, fascia and tendon of hip
Non-specific codes like S76.02 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for laceration of muscle, fascia and tendon of hip:
S76.021 for Laceration of muscle, fascia and tendon of right hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.021A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.021D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.021S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
S76.022 for Laceration of muscle, fascia and tendon of left hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.022A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.022D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.022S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
S76.029 for Laceration of muscle, fascia and tendon of unspecified hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.029A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.029D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use S76.029S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education
Hip Injuries and Disorders
Your hip is the joint where your femur (thigh bone) meets your pelvis (hip bone). There are two main parts: a ball at the end of the femur, which fits in a socket in the pelvis. Your hip is known as a ball-and-socket joint. This is because you have a ball at the end of your femur, and it fits into a socket in your pelvis. This makes your hips very stable and allows for a wide range of motion. When they are healthy, it takes great force to hurt them. However, playing sports, running, overuse, or falling can sometimes lead to hip injuries such as:
- Strains
- Bursitis
- Dislocations
- Fractures (broken bones)
Certain diseases also lead to hip injuries or problems. Osteoarthritis can cause pain and limited motion. Osteoporosis of the hip causes weak bones that break easily. Both of these are common in older people.
Another problem is hip dysplasia, where the ball at the end of the femur is loose in the hip socket. It can cause hip dislocation. Babies who have hip dysplasia are usually born with it, but sometimes they develop it later.
Treatment for hip disorders may include rest, medicines, physical therapy, or surgery, including hip replacement.
