S70.7: Multiple superficial injuries of hip and thigh
Multiple superficial injuries of the hip and thigh refer to minor traumas that affect the surface or skin covering these parts of the body. These injuries might include things such as scrapes, bruises, or minor cuts. They occur when the skin is damaged by an external force or pressure, such breaks in the skin can occur due to a fall, a bump against a hard surface, a minor vehicle accident, or an assault. The injured area typically presents with signs such as pain, swelling, and sometimes discoloration, depending on the severity of the injury. While these injuries are generally not severe, they do disrupt the integrity of the skin and can potentially lead to discomfort or risk of infection.
