Other injury of uterus, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication resulting from a previous injury to the uterus, excluding those specifically categorized elsewhere. It covers residual conditions such as chronic pain, adhesions, or functional impairment that manifest after the initial acute injury has resolved.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current uterine condition directly attributable to an old, resolved injury. This applies to scenarios like chronic pelvic pain following a past uterine perforation, or infertility due to scarring from a previous traumatic event affecting the uterus.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, infertility).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current uterine issue to a past injury.
• Do not use for acute or current injuries; those require codes from the initial encounter or subsequent encounter categories.
