Unsp injury of blood vessel of right index finger, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual effect from an unspecified blood vessel injury to the right index finger. It indicates that the initial injury has resolved, but there are ongoing issues or complications directly related to that past trauma.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic symptoms (e.g., pain, numbness, impaired circulation) in the right index finger that are directly attributable to a previously sustained, but now healed, blood vessel injury. This applies to follow-up encounters for ongoing management of these sequelae.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past blood vessel injury of the right index finger.
• Verify laterality and finger specificity are accurately reflected in the medical record.
