S76: Injury of muscle and tendon at hip and thigh level

Injuries of muscles and tendons at the hip and thigh level refer to a broad range of conditions, typically caused by an external force or stress placed on these specific areas. These injuries often come as a result of accidents, sporting activities, or repetitive motions that overextend or tear the muscles and tendons. Symptoms generally include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility in the hip and thigh area. The progression of these conditions varies, but generally, the severity of the symptoms correlates with the extent of the damage. In some instances, patients may experience difficulty performing daily tasks or could even develop a limping stride. Thorough medical examination and imaging tests are usually required to determine the extent of the injury and to differentiate between minor strains and more complex injuries like a complete muscle or tendon rupture.
