Inj flexor musc/fasc/tend r little fngr at wrs/hnd lv, sqla

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from a previous injury to the flexor muscles, fascia, or tendons of the right little finger, specifically at the wrist or hand level. This could include conditions like chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or nerve damage that persists after the initial healing period.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with residual symptoms or complications directly attributable to an old injury of the flexor structures of the right little finger. This applies when the acute phase of the original injury has passed, and the current encounter addresses the lasting consequences.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past injury of the right little finger's flexor structures.
• This code requires an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., scar formation, chronic pain, contracture).
• Do not use for acute injuries; refer to the appropriate acute injury codes for initial encounters.
