S70-S79: Injuries to the hip and thigh
The group of conditions known as injuries to the hip and thigh encompasses various damages that occur in the hip and thigh region. These injuries may result from accidents, sports, falls, or abrupt movements that forcefully impact this area, causing various issues such as fractures, sprains, dislocations, contusions, and other soft tissue injuries. Common symptoms across these conditions can include pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty in moving the leg, and sometimes visible deformities in severe cases like fractures or dislocations. As the injuries progress, the affected individual may experience increasing discomfort and limited mobility. These conditions primarily impact the musculoskeletal system, specifically the bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the hip and thigh region. The severity and type of injury dictate the specific symptoms and progression of these conditions.
