Minor lacerat femor vein at hip and thi lev, right leg, init

This code signifies a superficial cut or tear to the femoral vein in the right leg, specifically within the hip and thigh region. The injury is considered minor, implying it does not involve a complete transection or significant blood loss requiring immediate surgical repair beyond simple closure.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a minor laceration to the right femoral vein in the hip or thigh area, such as from a penetrating injury like a superficial stab wound or a deep abrasion. This code is appropriate when the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "minor laceration" and the exact location (femoral vein, right leg, hip/thigh level).
• Verify this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• Code any associated open wound of the skin and subcutaneous tissue separately, if applicable.
