Laceration of musc/fasc/tend long hd bicep, right arm, init

This code signifies a tear or cut involving the muscle, fascia, and tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii in the patient's right arm. This injury typically results in pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder and elbow.

Apply this code for acute traumatic injuries to the right long head of the biceps that involve all three tissue layers (muscle, fascia, and tendon). This is appropriate for the initial treatment or evaluation of such an injury, such as in an emergency department visit or initial orthopedic consultation.

• Ensure documentation specifies the "long head" of the biceps and the "right arm" for accurate laterality.
• Verify that the injury explicitly involves laceration of all three components: muscle, fascia, and tendon.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
