S70-S79: Injuries to the hip and thigh
S74: Injury of nerves at hip and thigh level
Injuries of nerves at hip and thigh level, classified under the ICD-10 code range S74, encompass a spectrum of damage to the neural structures serving the hip and thigh regions. These injuries often result from trauma, such as accidents, falls, or surgical complications, but can also stem from conditions that compress or cause inflammation of the nerves, such as herniated discs, tumors, and systemic diseases like diabetes. Such nerve injuries typically present with symptoms including pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hip or thigh areas, possibly extending to the lower legs and feet. The overall mobility of the patient may be affected and daily activities may become challenging. The symptoms and progression of the condition can vary significantly depending on the extent and location of the nerve injury but tend to gradually worsen without appropriate management.
