Unsp inj extn musc/fasc/tend r mid fngr at wrs/hnd lv, init

This code signifies an injury to the extensor muscle, fascia, or tendon of the right middle finger. The specific nature of the injury (e.g., strain, tear, rupture) is not documented, and the injury is located at the wrist or hand level.

Use this code for initial encounters when a patient presents with an injury to the extensor mechanism of the right middle finger, and the provider has not specified the exact type or extent of the injury. This is appropriate when the documentation indicates an injury but lacks the detail for a more specific code.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the right middle finger and the wrist/hand level.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter of the injury. Subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
• If the specific type of injury (e.g., strain, tear) is documented, a more precise code should be selected.
