Inj musc/fasc/tend long head of biceps, unsp arm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from a previous injury to the muscle, fascia, or tendon of the long head of the biceps. The specific nature of the original injury is not detailed, and the affected arm is also unspecified. It indicates a persistent issue rather than an acute event.

This code is appropriate for documenting chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other residual problems in the biceps long head that are directly attributable to a past injury. It should be used when the acute phase of the original injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience related symptoms.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the primary sequela condition (e.g., chronic pain, muscle weakness).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a previous injury of the biceps long head.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; instead, use the appropriate acute injury code.
