Unsp inj flxr musc/fasc/tend r mid fngr at wrs/hnd lv, sqla

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an unspecified injury to the flexor muscle, fascia, or tendon of the right middle finger. The original injury occurred at the wrist or hand level, and the patient is now presenting with residual symptoms or conditions directly attributable to that past trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, weakness, limited range of motion, scar tissue formation) of an old, unspecified flexor injury to the right middle finger. This is appropriate when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the patient is being treated for the lasting consequences.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.541 for pain in right hand, M62.441 for contracture of right hand).
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates that the current condition is a residual effect of a past injury, not an acute event.
• Verify the injury location is specifically the right middle finger at the wrist/hand level.
