Unspecified injury of ovary, unilateral, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect of an unspecified injury to a single ovary. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but its lasting consequences, such as chronic pain, adhesions, or functional impairment, are still present and require ongoing medical attention.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with sequelae directly attributable to a past, unspecified injury of one ovary. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the original injury is no longer acute but its residual effects are being treated or monitored.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by any codes for the specific manifestation(s) of the sequela.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous ovarian injury.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; it is specifically for late effects.
