Unsp inj unsp musc/fasc/tend at shldr/up arm, left arm, sqla

This code signifies a long-term or late effect of an unspecified injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons in the left shoulder and upper arm region. It indicates that the original acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to that past injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the left shoulder or upper arm that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, but now healed, muscle, fascia, or tendon injury. This applies when the specific muscle, fascia, or tendon involved in the original injury was not or cannot be identified.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition (e.g., chronic pain, muscle weakness).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a past injury of the left shoulder/upper arm muscles, fascia, or tendons.
• Avoid using this code for acute injuries; it is strictly for sequelae.
