Treatment of a Torn Hamstring
There are 3 levels of hamstring strains:
S76. 311A - Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, right thigh [initial encounter]. ICD-10-CM.
461.
The hamstrings are tendons (strong bands of tissue) at the back of the thighs that attach the large thigh muscle to the bone. The term "hamstring" also refers to the group of 3 muscles that run along the back of your thigh, from your hip to just below your knee.
Unspecified injury of left thigh, initial encounter S79. 922A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S79. 922A became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code S39. 012A for Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of lower back, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
A hamstring tear injury is a rip in the hamstring muscles. It happens when the hamstrings are overstretched or overloaded with too much weight. Depending on the injury, the hamstring can tear partially or completely. The injury can affect one or more of the muscles in your hamstring muscle group.
What is a hamstring tear or strain? A hamstring tear or strain, also called a pulled hamstring, is an injury to one of the back muscles in the back of the thigh. These injuries are common with athletes who participate in sports where they must sprint.
The biceps femoris is the most commonly injured hamstring muscle and the semitendinosus is the second most commonly injured.
Gentle stretching is helpful for recovery. Aggressive stretching of your hamstring will delay your recovery. Hold this position for 3 to 5 seconds, and then lower your leg back down. Perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions once per day.
Unspecified injury of unspecified lower leg, initial encounter. S89. 90XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S89.
Superficial injury of knee and lower leg ICD-10-CM S80. 912A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):

The most common causes of contracture are inactivity and scarring from an injury or burn. People who have other conditions that keep them from moving around are also at higher risk for contracture deformity. For example, people with severe osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often develop contractures.
How is hamstring tendonitis treated?Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the back of your thigh (not directly to your skin) for about 20 minutes every two hours.Avoid any strenuous activity, such as bending your knee, walking up stairs or otherwise straining your hamstring.More items...•
A hamstring injury occurs when you strain or pull one of your hamstring muscles — the group of three muscles that run along the back of your thigh. You may be more likely to get a hamstring injury if you play soccer, basketball, football, tennis or a similar sport that involves sprinting with sudden stops and starts.
