In simple words: This code describes the lasting effects of a right hip injury caused by something tight around it, like a belt or rope.It's for the problems that remain after the initial injury.

This code signifies the sequela (late effect) of external constriction of the right hip.External constriction refers to the tightening of the right hip by an outside force, such as a band, belt, or heavy object, resulting in temporary restriction of blood flow. This code is applied to the condition resulting from the initial injury.

Example 1: A patient presents with pain and numbness in their right hip after a fall, where a heavy object (e.g., piece of equipment) compressed the hip area for an extended period., A child presents after being trapped between two objects and experiencing compression on the right hip, leading to pain and bruising., A patient experiences prolonged numbness and decreased mobility of the right hip after a tourniquet was used during an emergency procedure.
