Lacerat musc/fasc/tend long hd bicep, unsp arm, sequela

This code signifies a past injury involving a tear or cut to the muscle, fascia, and tendon of the long head of the biceps. The specific arm affected is not documented. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used for residual effects or complications arising from the initial laceration, long after the acute phase of the injury has passed.

Apply this code when documenting chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other long-term issues directly attributable to a previous laceration of the long head of the biceps. This would be used for follow-up visits where the patient is being treated for the lasting impact of the original injury, not the acute injury itself.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, muscle atrophy).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous biceps laceration.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute injuries; it is strictly for residual conditions.
