ICD-10-CMLaceration of flexor muscle, fascia and tendon of right middle finger at forearm level, subsequent encounter
This code signifies a laceration injury affecting the flexor muscles, their surrounding fascia, and the tendons of the right middle finger, specifically at the forearm level. The injury involves a cut or tear through these soft tissues, impacting the structures responsible for finger flexion. This "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for an injury that has already been treated.
Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a laceration to the flexor muscle, fascia, and tendon of their right middle finger, with the injury site located in the forearm region. This includes scenarios such as wound checks, dressing changes, physical therapy, or medication management during the healing phase after initial treatment.
