Unspecified injury of uterus, sequela

This code indicates a long-term or late-effect complication resulting from a previous, unspecified injury to the uterus. It is used when the specific nature of the original uterine injury is unknown or not documented, and the patient is presenting for treatment of a residual condition.

Use this code when documenting a sequela of a uterine injury where the original injury type (e.g., laceration, contusion, rupture) is not specified. This could include chronic pain, adhesions, or other persistent issues directly attributable to a past, ill-defined uterine trauma.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pelvic pain).
• Only use this code when the specific type of uterine injury is truly unknown or unspecifiable from the medical record.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates this is a sequela code, meaning it's for complications or conditions arising directly from a previous injury.
