S66.500A
ICD-10-CMUnspecified injury of intrinsic muscle, fascia and tendon of right index finger at wrist and hand level, initial encounter
This code describes an injury to the muscles, fascia, or tendons located entirely within the right index finger, specifically at the level of the wrist and hand. The exact nature of the injury (e.g., sprain, strain, tear) is not specified, indicating a lack of detailed diagnostic information at the time of encounter.
Use this code when documentation indicates an injury to the intrinsic structures of the right index finger, but the specific type or extent of the injury is not yet determined. This is appropriate for initial evaluations following an acute trauma where further diagnostic workup (e.g., imaging, specialist consultation) is pending.
