Strain of musc/fasc/tend at forarm lv, right arm, sequela

This code signifies a chronic or residual condition resulting from a previous strain injury to muscles, fascia, or tendons in the right forearm. The initial acute injury has resolved, but the patient continues to experience symptoms or functional limitations directly attributable to that past strain.

Use this code when documenting ongoing pain, weakness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues in the right forearm that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained muscle, fascia, or tendon strain. This applies when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses these long-term effects.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current symptoms to a prior forearm strain and specifies the right arm.
• This code is for sequelae, meaning the acute injury is no longer present; do not use for acute or subacute strains.
• Verify that the affected structures (muscles, fascia, tendons) are located at the forearm level.
