S76.1 — Injury of quadriceps muscle, fascia and tendon
Is S76.1 billable?
No — S76.1 is a non-billable header code. S76.1 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 36 billable codes beneath S76.1.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S76.1.
- Injury of patellar ligament (tendon)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S76.1 to fully describe the condition. S76.1 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S76.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S76.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S70-S79
The conditions below are not part of S76.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S76.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.
