Contusion of penis, sequela

This code signifies a bruise or injury to the penis resulting from blunt force trauma, where the acute injury has resolved and the patient is now presenting for treatment of a residual condition or complication directly attributable to the original contusion. This could include persistent pain, scarring, or erectile dysfunction stemming from the initial injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a long-term effect or complication of a previously sustained penile contusion. This is appropriate when the initial injury is no longer acute and the current visit addresses a sequela, such as chronic pain, fibrotic changes, or vascular issues, that developed as a direct consequence.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past penile contusion.
• This code requires a 7th character "S" for sequela, indicating the current visit is for a complication or residual effect.
• Do not use for acute contusions; those would be coded with the appropriate acute injury code.
